FLY BOARDING
Friday 31st August: James Prestwood
Display Times: 17.00 & 20.45
Flyboarding is an exciting extreme water sport that will take you to new heights and involves performing tricks like backflips, spins, dolphin dives and various combinations with a water jet pack strapped to your feet. A Flyboard rider stands on a board connected by a long hose to a jet ski. Water is pumped under pressure by the jet ski to the flyboard which provides thrust for the rider to fly up to heights of 18m (60ft) in the air while performing different tricks.
FINALE FIREWORKS
Regatta Grand Finale fireworks will take place on Regatta Saturday 31st August at 9pm! Finish off Regatta week with a bang
and an ohh and an ahhh.
A highlight that is always slightly sad as it means the week is nearly over!
