The dolphin jetpack that lets you swim like one
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Swimming with dolphins. Now that, for many,
would be a dream come true. Obviously, you'll
be splashing around while the dolphins glide
through the water.
Unless you've got one of these. A flyboard.
No, it's not clever special effects, it's
real. Actually it's the amazing creation of
French jetskier Franky Zapata. Powerful waterjets
turning into some kind of amphibious jet man.
Franky takes it through its paces in his native
Marseilles. He says you can climb more than
30 feet above the sea and do somersaults.
Obviously as Franky has been jetskiing since
he was 17, he's pretty good at this. And it
might take customers a little while before
they get the hang of it. Swimming with dolphins?
Priceless. Swimming like a dolphin? Around
4,900 euros to you... or just under £4,200.
Which actually sounds quite reasonable. Not
sure that includes delivery. So if you haven't
made that Christmas list yet, and you've been
really, really good... You can but hope!
