A number of Hov Pod dealers and rental operators now offer hovercraft experience rides and hovercraft training. If you haven't experienced hovercraft flying before, then you have something to really look forward to.Our mini cruiser Hovercraft are built for safety and comfort, though they can reach a top speed of in excess of 40 mph. You fly above the ground at a typical cruising altitude of 9 inches. Hovercraft are especially exciting when traveling over land to water to land transitions.
The ride sensation is hard to put into words, but imagine that you are levitating on a "Back-to-the-Future" type hovercar where you have no contact with the ground. As you are floating, it feels really comfortable, and as you let the revs increase, a blast of air will gently speed you on your way. No wheels, or brakes for that matter, so you can either stop by slowly reducing your speed, or by effecting a controlled 360 spin.
Hovercraft flying is so wonderfully addictive, so make a day of it and bring your friends for a great day out.
PS We still need operators and instructors in some areas, so contact us via the Info button if this opportunity sounds interesting.
