Jet-ski racer Franky Zapata shows off his latest invention: a water-powered jet-pack that promises to have extreme sports enthusiasts leaping for joy. The Flyboard allows the truly courageous to dive in and out of the water like a dolphin. They operate it by placing their feet into shoes attached to powerful jets. The jets suck ocean water through a hose attached to a jetski, before blasting it back out again. With the help of stabilising hand-guided nozzles, users can leap up to 30 feet in the air. Frenchman Zapata has already been bombarded with interest from thrill-seekers. Unfortunately, the hobby doesn't come cheap. A Flyboard will set you back almost 100,000 US dollars. But for those with money to burn, it will surely be worth taking the plunge. Jim Drury, Reuters
