About US
At Extreme Hydro Flight, we offer clients the opportunity to pilot our state of the art Fly Board equipment under the supervision and control of our Certified Flight Instructors.
The flight instructors perform one on one instruction prior to flight. They also provide in-flight instruction during the flight via wireless two way communication with the pilot while controlling the thrust of the fly board. Each flight is custom tailored to the pilot’s age and skill level ensuring a once in a lifetime experience that is thrilling, enjoyable and above all else is safe.
While one person flies anywhere from 5 to 15 feet above the water’s surface, their friends and family can kick back, relax. They can listen to some tunes and watch from the water on one of our luxury pontoon boats piloted by certified/licensed boat captains.

Questions & Answers
Q#1:What makes you fly and who controls it?
The wave-runner acts as a water pump that is connected to the commercial hydroflight board with wake board boots which the customer uses to fly. A certified flight instructor controls the thrust from a wave-runner, with training and experience to safely control your flight. We shadow throttle our customers when they are flying. This means,if you are losing your balance slowly, we will slowly lower the throttle and the rider flying into the water, and start over. When someone loses their balance quickly, we splash them into the water quickly so we may restart and get right back up flying. After going into the water, we have the rider get onto their stomach,legs straight and arms in front of them (Super Man position)and prepare to fly again. After 10 minutes,usually steps can be streamlined to go in and out of the water while never even getting your shoulders wet!
Q#2:Do I need to know how to swim?
YES, our water sport is intimately tied to the water and swimming is a pre requisite.
Q#3:What is the Minimum and Maximum Weight?
100 lbs minimum weight.There is no maximum weight restriction.People over 375 lbs have gotten up and happily checked it off their bucket list. Others have returned to do it again as it's such a thrill.
Q#4:Do I need to have tried other sports that require balance like skiing, snowboarding, water skiing, surfing,etc.?
NO, there is no required skills to do this, however experience in any of the above can enhance your learning curve.
Q#4A: Is it hard to balance?
It is not hard to balance once you get it. In the first 10 minutes our staff gets most everyone up and flying. After breaking the ice, we get into the simple movements it takes to fly, and fly well.Then you are flying around and exploring a whole new world.
Q#5: Can I just rent the equipment and do it myself?
No,we rent kayaks and paddle boards for do it yourselfers. The training and experience needed to do this operation safely, and create a positive experience every time, takes a great deal of skill by our instructors.
Q#6:Can I buy one?
Extreme Hydro Flight is a North East dealer for the DEFY Water Flight board and have 2-Axis and 3-Axis units with hoses, clamps, U-pipe and mounting plate adapters (Yamaha) in stock and ready to ship. Mostly this is for commercial applications, however we can sell privately with mandatory training. We mostly sell to commercial operations and train hydroflight instructors commercially.
Q#7:If I buy this privately, will my waverunner insurance cover it?
ABSOLUTELY NOT, Waverunner insurance policies have stipulations that it not be used for hydro flight sports. Leave it to the pro's unless you are looking to become a professional hydroflight athlete which is a different world entirely that we can set up for the right people.
