Go flyboarding in Chepstow at the fabulous National Diving & Activity Centre! This is a great place to have a go at the crazy sport of flyboarding. If you've always wondered what it'd be like to 'walk on water' this is as close as it gets
- & it's as totally exhilarating as you'd imagine! Flyboarding for the uninitiated is you strapped onto a small board that resembles a skateboard. A hose is attached to a jetski that's out on the water next to you. This provides the power to get the water propelled from outlets on the board
- & that's what gets you 'flying' in the air. First time flyboarders often describe it as Iron Man meets dolphin! It'll take a few goes for you to feel the balance & get used to being forced up & out of the water by the jet sprays so there's no avoiding getting wet for this experience. Before heading out you will have an on-land briefing so you know what to expect. Once out on the water you'll work through the three separate stages of getting up & out of the water. What's great about this Chepstow experience is that all flyboarding lessons are taught on a one-to-one basis so you can really progress quickly with your instructor right next you on the jetski to encourage & coach you. Before long you'll be getting high enough in the air to wave to your friends & family watching from The View cafe's terrace. & if you really take to it like a duck to water ('scuse the pun!) you might be up for trying a few dolphin dives
- the signature move of flyboarders. We have to say the azure blue waters of this former quarry make for a unique place to try flyboarding in Chepstow & it boasts not only great facilities for visitors but also a friendly an enthusiastic welcome from the flyboard team. All the gear is provided for you including a buoyancy aid so you don't even have to be a brilliant swimmer for these thrilling flyboard experiences.
