Malta’s coastal waters provide an ideal setting for this high-tech water sport. The experience begins with a 15-minute instructor briefing that covers safety, equipment, and basic controls. This quick orientation is designed to get you familiar with the Flyboard’s mechanics and safety procedures, setting you up for success.
Once briefed, you’ll don a wetsuit and life jacket, which are provided in various sizes, from shorty 3mm to full 7mm, depending on water temperature and personal comfort. The communication helmet ensures real-time guidance from your instructor—an essential feature that helps even total beginners get airborne quickly.
After gearing up, you’ll step into the water with your instructor by your side, mounted on a jet ski that supplies the power to propel you into the air. The jet ski and personal instructor guide you through your initial attempts, which many find surprisingly easy thanks to clear instructions and the helmet communication system. Within a few minutes, you’ll likely feel the sensation of “flying”—a feeling that’s both exhilarating and surprisingly easy to control.
First Flights and Basic Control
Most participants report that they manage to lift off and hover with minimal fuss. One reviewer described it as “almost anyone can start flying during their first few minutes,” thanks to the instructor’s real-time coaching. The goal is to get you comfortable with balancing, controlling your altitude, and achieving basic movements like slalom, spins, and dolphin jumps.
Many describe the first flight as a “whirlwind of fun,” with a mix of laughter and awe. The instructors emphasize safety and encourage fun, which helps nervous beginners relax and focus on enjoying the sensation of being suspended in water and air.
