Even clumsy travel writers can manage to manoeuvre the Zapata flyboard. Each hour-long session at this Jan Thiel Beach based operation, starts with an extensive safety briefing. Then its time to learn how to fly and make dolphin dives, all depending on how quickly you learn how to balance on the flyboard, which is basically a kind of water jet pack. It might look a bit intimidating at first, but it’s a guaranteed memory of a lifetime. Patient staff make the experience more enjoyable, but expect to swallow a good amount of sea water. Women should wear shorts on top of their bikinis to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
