History

As it turns out, the futuristic vision of flying men conceived of in the pages of comic books is possible thanks to a simple 250-horsepower engine and some water. Those specs describe the clever, gravity-defying contraptions that give the company Rocketman its name. Trainers strap adventurers into self-stabilizing packs that are propelled by two jet streams of water. They then teach their charges the basics of controlling the packs, and unleash them to play and fly over the waters of the ocean, river, or bay. The packs can easily lift passengers up to 30 feet above the surface of the water, providing stunning views, an unparalleled sense of freedom, and a great way to retrieve your stolen sunglasses from a seagull.

Rocketman is a great idea, but it should be mentioned at the beginning that the 30 minute experience could be 10 or 15 minutes long and that flying is not guaranteed. I think I was in water for...

Unreliable, unprofessional, unorganized, untrustworthy kids that don't know what they're doing and run poorly maintained equipment. The concept is super cool and my wife knows that I can't wait...
