Yes, California Flyboard’s professionally certified instructors have many hours of instruction under their belts before they are allowed to instruct the general public. Instructors are in complete control of the flyer’s power to ensure your safety at all times. Before even getting into the water, we take our customers through a 10 minute training, and outfit them with a helmet and life jacket. Everything you wear floats, so don’t worry about sinking to the bottom of the bay.

The average person takes 3-7 minutes to learn the basic maneuvers. If you have experience in wake boarding, skateboarding, snowboarding, or any sports that requires balance, you have a good chance of getting it in under 2 minutes!

13 and older. Kids under 18 will need to have a parental consent form signed before flying. We have yet to determine a max age limit since the oldest person we have flown was 80 years old!

There is no height limit, and we can fly people up to 375 lbs! We do recommend you have a shoe size bigger than 5 (In Men Size) and weigh over 100 lbs.

How high do you want to fly? At first, you will be kept at a controlled height of approximately 5-10 feet, depending on your learning curve. The more you progress the higher you will be able to fly.

The most strenuous time Flyboarding is in the first 15 minutes of learning to fly. After you learn to fly the feeling becomes more natural and you can fly for a much more prolonged period of time.
