Flyboarding Backflip Competition!

When the crew at Flyboard Central Florida and the World Barefoot Center go out for dinner and a couple drinks, testosterone and alcohol mix together to produce smack talk and boasting. This is normal in all coworker/friend circles. The difference is, most friend groups don't have access to 260 horsepower jetskis and water jetpacks! So when our resident gas boy/handy man Rick Moyes challenged our on site professional barefoot waterskiing instructor Ben Groen to a backflip competition, it was game on. The rules were simple: Rick would go out and attempt as many backflips as he wanted to, then Ben would give it a go. Whoever landed a backflip in the least amount of attempts would win. The next day, Rick tried 27 backflips in a row without successfully landing one. Discouraged, he let Ben have a go. Ben landed his 9th backflip attempt and has been rubbing it in Rick's face ever since!

Backflipping on the Flyboard is an advanced maneuver than one should only attempt under careful instruction and proper coaching. If you would like to learn how to land a backflip, sign up for our monthly membership program and become a pro rider! 863-293-2753
