XDubai and Flyboarders Having Fun in Dubai Waters

Before we rave and let loose our extreme alter-egos, let us first look at what “flyboarding” is all about. To the uninitiated (which is probably every one of us), flyboarding is a type of (an extreme) water sport activity wherein a user straps both feet onto a flyboard (similar to a wakeboard) in order to be propelled by water jets under the device to perform (acrobatic) stunts or simply just to have fun. As the activity has rapidly gained popularity since its invention in 2012, many touristic locations including Dubai have adopted the water sport activity as one of the recreational attractions in the city.

If you’re into water sports and are up for a new challenge, flyboarding is definitely one of those things that you need to try at least once in your life. And where else can you better enjoy this unique and exhilarating experience than in a progressive and beautiful place such as Dubai. It is most definitely safe as the activity has fully been set with safety regulations and equipment to make sure that adventure-seekers get the most out of this one-of-a-kind experience.

I felt it before I heard it
The heartbeat of a place I knew I belonged
Where history is lived as much as it’s made
A place where the mind awakens as the body unwinds
I am the flutter in your chest
The chill down your spine
I am the spirit of possible
The Spirit of Dubai
