If you’ve ever watched someone soar above water and thought “I could never do that” — think again. Flyboarding is easier than it looks, and with the right guidance, anyone can learn to fly in just one session.
In this beginner-friendly guide, we’ll walk you through how to flyboard step by step, what to expect on your first ride, and how to make the most of your experience.
🛠️ What Is a Flyboard and How Does It Work?
A Flyboard® is a water-powered board connected to a personal watercraft (Jet Ski). Water is pumped through a hose and expelled under your feet, pushing you into the air — much like Iron Man meets extreme water sports.
✅ You control your direction by shifting your weight
✅ The Jet Ski operator controls the power
✅ You can hover, spin, and even dive with practice
🧍♂️ Is Flyboarding for Beginners?
Yes — and it’s designed to be! At certified centers like Flyboard Training Center Phuket, even first-timers are flying within 5–10 minutes.

📘 How to Flyboard: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Suit up
You’ll wear a helmet, life vest, and boots attached to the board.
Step 2: Basic briefing
Your instructor will explain how to stand, fall, and balance.
Step 3: Get in the water
Float on your stomach with legs straight — no need to kick.
Step 4: First lift
Your instructor increases power gradually — and you rise!
Keep knees straight, core engaged, and arms relaxed.
Step 5: Stabilize and enjoy
Once upright, you’ll learn to turn, move forward, and control height.
