Flyboarding is an extreme water sportin which athletes compete using equipment called flyboards . A flyboard can be best described as a personal water craft fitted with a water jetpack/ hoverboard. Flyboards were invented rather recently by a French watercraft rider in the Autumn of 2012, and was introduced to the world during the 2012 jet ski World Championship in China. It quickly became popular among water sport enthusiasts which led the way to a competitive sport to be developed out of it. In competitions, participants are allotted a fixed duration to perform their routine. Each athlete performs various acrobatic moves as a part of their routine. Points are awarded for each run based on number of moves and the degree of difficulty of the moves.
