Flyboard lake austin

Their helmet even has an attachment for it! My daughter immediately volunteered to go first! Our instructor, Ed, who also owns Fly Lake Austin, patiently explained to us how everything worked before she got in the water.

I felt very comfortable sending her out with Ed, who has been doing this for 4 years on the lake! You want someone who is going to be paying attention to this all the time, as well as the lake traffic around you! He was terrific, and as a father himself, I felt confident he was watching out for my kids! Once she had the Flyboard on her feet, she was ready! You need to head out into the lake a little, and getting there is even fun! Laying flat in the water, with your chest up, the board propels you along like Superman!

Once they were out, she was up in a matter of minutes! Of course, she fell a few times, too! During our pre-flight talk, he discussed techniques for how to fall, too! Bring a camera that can zoom in out on the lake. Next, my year-old went. Again, I was surprised just how quickly he was up and hovering over the water! After about 25 minutes of flying around the lake, he said he was exhausted!

Before going out, I double checked that his life jacket was properly secured. Click HERE to watch a really good, short video on Youtube on how to properly fit and test a life jacket for a child. My husband rode out with our son, just in case. It was a little harder for him, simply because the water really pushes on your legs, and you must keep them straight to be able to get out of the water! It's a great experience. Just be sure to get everything up front.

We can't wait to go back!! Some of the falls left me sore the next day but it was well worth it. Date of experience: July Lago Vista, Texas contributions helpful votes. A Must Try in the Austin area. If you enjoy new experiences, this is a must do. Excellent instructor, both me and my daughter flew up over 5 feet. Where is the GoPro Camera shots? Mannn that would have been epic to view it from Brit. Maybe next time? We are all about Austin: the vibe, the people and the uniqueness of the city.
