- Come down hard - Everyone falls back into the lake a few times while learning.
- Move on to maneuvers - From hovering to steering, turns and small tricks, for anyone who gets that far in one session.
- Keep the footage - The cameras record every attempt, and the footage goes home with the group.
What you'll need to bring

- A towel
- Confidence in the water, since swimming is required

Flyboarding near Sofia: the rig, the instructor and the group
The session runs on a lake or reservoir set up for flyboarding, with the rig, the safety gear and the cameras provided.
The instructor keeps the session safe and moving across the 60 to 90 minutes. Holding a hover takes balance, coordination and repeated attempts.
Once you can hold a hover, you lift off the water, move through the air and steer, with the lake underneath.
The rest of the group watches from the bank while each person flies.
Hardly anyone has flyboarded before, so everyone in the group starts at the same level.

Flyboard and Jetpack FAQs
The questions groups ask before they book.
1. Is flyboarding harder than other water sports?
Yes. Most water sports give you something steady to work from, such as a moving board, a rope or a wave. A flyboard gives you jets of water and constant corrections, so fitness helps less than balance.
2. What if someone never gets off the water?
Nearly everyone starts that way. The instructor sets a steady hover as the goal for a first session, not tricks.
3. What does a water jetpack feel like?
Like flight, once you can hold a hover. You leave the surface, you keep a height, and you move in the direction you point yourself.
4. Is swimming ability required?
Yes, because you will fall into the water repeatedly. Beyond that, balance and coordination matter more than strength.
5. How long does it take to get airborne?
It depends on the person. A few are off the surface in the first few minutes. Others spend most of the session working up to it. Most of the group gets some air before the time is up.
6. Is flyboarding safe?
Yes. You fly over open water in a helmet, a life jacket and body padding, the instructor watches every flight, and rescue is on the water with you if you get into trouble or the rig stops working.
7. Can more than one person fly at the same time?
One flyer at a time is the normal setup, because each flight takes the instructor's full attention. Where the operator has the instructors and the water space for it, more rigs can run together. Either way, the rest of the group watches from the bank.
8. What if the weather is bad or a rig fails?
The session gets moved or swapped. The rigs are checked and the forecast is read before the group goes out, and if the water is unsafe your planner moves you to another activity.
