New extreme sport: Amazing flyboarding pictures

Report by Lindsay Brown

The Flyboard, a combination between a jet ski and a jet pack, can shoot up to 10 metres in the air.

Frenchman Franky Zapata in 2011, a jet skier, invented the device in 2011.

The device can fly up to 10 metres and riders can dive, dolphin-like, under water.

The Flyboard is attached to a jetski by a kevlar hose that pumps water to keep it aloft and riders use their feet to control the direction and their hands to keep it stable.

The Flyboard sells for £7,400.
