New Orleans 2015–Day 6

The most adventurous day.

We went Flyboarding with Jeremy from New Orleans Flyboarding.  Jan was very nervous and I was very excited.  Jeremy was an excellent instructor and was very patient and encouraging to both of us.  Toby was the official photographer for the day.  Jan and I alternated 20 minute lessons (after 20 minutes I was ready for a rest).  When our lessons were over, Jeremy strapped the boots on and gave us a quick show.  He was amazing.  In the pictures below, compare the length of the hose that Jan and I achieved (our max was about 10 feet as beginners) and the height that Jeremy got (~25 ft).  During Jeremy’s ride, I basically ran the jet ski at a constant 6500 rpm, whether he was in the air or in the water!
