Whether you're a total newbie or looking to brush up on your skills, Captain Hux's expert guidance will have you feeling like a pro in no time. Since 2019, we've been helping folks of all ages discover the rush of flyboarding in a safe, fun environment. Our top-notch gear and step-by-step instruction make this an accessible adventure for just about anyone who's game to try something new on the water.

How Flyboarding Works

Alright, let's break down the flyboard basics. Picture a wakeboard with some serious jet power. You strap your feet into the board, which is connected to a jet ski by a long hose. As the jet ski revs up, it pumps water through the hose and out through nozzles under your feet. That's what gives you lift! Captain Hux controls the power from the jet ski, so all you have to do is focus on balance and steering. We start you off nice and easy, helping you get a feel for the board in shallow water. Once you're comfortable, we'll gradually increase the power until you're hovering, then flying! Most folks are up and cruising within their first 15 minutes. It's way easier than it looks, trust me. And the views of Oak Island from up there? Absolutely killer.

Why Flyboarders Keep Coming Back

There's something addictive about defying gravity over the water. Our regulars tell us it's the perfect mix of adrenaline and serenity. You get that rush as you first lift off, but then there's this zen-like calm once you find your balance and start cruising. It's great exercise too – your core and legs will definitely feel it the next day! What keeps people hooked is how quickly you can progress. In just a few sessions, you might be pulling off spins, dives, and even backflips if you're feeling brave. Plus, it's just plain fun to watch your buddies try it for the first time. The wipeouts are half the entertainment!

Safety First, Always

Look, we know flyboarding looks wild, but safety is our number one priority. Captain Hux is a certified instructor with years of experience getting newbies flying safely. We'll kit you out with a life jacket and helmet before you even touch the board. The water around Oak Island is nice and calm, perfect for learning. We always check weather conditions and won't go out if things look dicey. During your session, Captain Hux is right there on the jet ski, controlling the power and keeping an eye on you the whole time. We've had guests from 12 to 70 try flyboarding without a hitch. As long as you're comfortable in the water and willing to listen to instructions, you'll do great.

What to Bring

Packing for your flyboard adventure is easy peasy. Just throw on your swimsuit and bring a towel. Sunscreen is a must – that Carolina sun can be sneaky when you're having fun on the water. If you've got water shoes, they're nice to have, but not required. We provide all the gear you need: the flyboard, life jacket, and helmet. Oh, and don't forget your sense of adventure! A waterproof camera or GoPro is a great idea if you want to capture some epic shots of you defying gravity. We can even take some photos for you from the jet ski if you like. Just let us know ahead of time.

Best Times to Fly

Oak Island is gorgeous year-round, but for flyboarding, you can't beat our summer season. From May through September, the water's warm and the days are long. Early morning sessions are a local favorite – the water's usually glassy smooth, and there's something magical about flying as the sun rises over the Atlantic. Sunset flights are pretty spectacular too. If you're looking to beat the crowds, consider a weekday booking. Weekends can get busy, especially in July and August. Fall flyboarding has its charms too. The water's still warm enough in September and October, and you might catch some amazing foliage along the shoreline.

The Oak Island Experience

While you're here for the flyboarding, don't sleep on all the other cool stuff Oak Island has to offer. This laid-back beach town is the perfect spot to unwind after your adrenaline fix. Hit up one of the local seafood joints for some fresh catch – nothing tastes better after a day on the water. If you're into fishing, the Oak Island Pier is a great spot to cast a line. Nature lovers should check out the Oak Island Nature Center for some cool exhibits on local wildlife. And of course, there are miles of pristine beaches where you can kick back and relax. Make a day of it – flyboard in the morning, beach bum in the afternoon, and cap it off with a gorgeous Carolina sunset.

Time to Take Flight!
