Aquatic Aviation - Fathers Day 2017 San Diego - Flyboarding Near Me - San Diego, California

My lesson was taught by Téa (sp?) and she was a great, patient teacher. I did the Ironman session which I think was 30 minutes in the water. The equipment worked very well and with the relatively long lesson I got comfortable enough with it to learn a trick or two - dolphin dives and stuff. I always felt safe during the lesson, and Téa gauged my comfort level and encouraged me to try different tricks that I didn't initially feel comfortable with and made the lesson SO much more fun as a result. Love this place and highly recommend to anyone! read more

Aquatic Aviation - Flyboarding Near Me - San Diego, California

My 16-year old son was googling jetpacking places in San Diego when he came across Aquatic Aviation. We made him choose something less expensive on their site so he requested flyboarding instead. His twin brother wanted in on it too. Mark and Hannah were extremely helpful over the phone, price matching a Groupon offer and adding extra time for one of our sons. Online waivers were convenient and easy to submit. Their brand new office where they showed a brief instructional video was easy to find (red brick building 2nd floor) and just down the street from the H&M launching pad. Hannah was super patient with explaining and teaching our sons how to flyboard for their first time...assuming superman position to get out into more open waters, balancing using toe/heel movement (snowboarding skills came in handy), and simple spin tricks. One son's longest flight lasted about 40 seconds before plunging him into the water, the other one stayed up for almost 8 minutes a couple of times. My husband and I were able to follow them down to the other end of the dock to record. This was an unforgettable experience for our sons! read more

A meh experience tbh. The person on the phone was friendly. But the instructor was ok. Guess it depends on who you get. read more

This review is for the overall experience, We walked in the place and mark, the trainer, was already waiting. Welcomes us and directly ask, " you ready?" We were like, hell yeah. Thinking there's a video training session, he just ask if we've seen the videos on YouTube. I replied," of course!" And that's it with training videos... Hahaha, we walked to the spot and instructed two things, technically got our wet suits and gear and few pointers while in the water. Easy instructions. Overall, mark was patient and always positive. He definitely gave made the whole experience more fun than anything. Awesome experience with an amazing coach. It's addicting and you just wanna come back again! read more

Wife got my best friend and I a private lesson and it was an amazing experience thanks to Mark, our awesome instructor! He was super patient with us and taught us well. My best friend chose the flyboard, the recommended starting gear, and was very successful with it. I was stubborn and chose the jetpack even though it is NOT recommended and it was very difficult to be able to balance with it but due to Mark's extreme patience, was able to fly by the end of our private lesson. Truly an amazing experience and I've recommended to my friends. If yelp allowed us to post videos, I might even do that. read more

Hannah and Mark made this experience absolutely unforgettable!!! From original phone call making the reservation, to ensuring that my husband and son were taken care of on site, to absolutely ensuring their safety and a thrill of a time this whole experience was spot on! These people know how to run a business and quite frankly in my over 50 years of life on this planet it's hard to be this customer service, San Diego experience, location, and overall amazing bucket list thing to accomplish!!! LOVED IT, AND WE WILL BE BACK AND BRING OTHERS!!!! read more

Amazing instructors made for an amazing time! Full disclosure -- my boyfriend and I were in a fight before getting to our lesson. We were late and overall not in the best of spirits. The guides were happy to get us back on track time wise (they didn't have anyone after us) and we headed out the water. I have never been super coordinated with board sports and our instructor did an amazing job teaching me how to flyyyy! He had such a good attitude, smiled the whole time and kept me confident that I would learn how to get up there and then stay up there. My boyfriend had the best time ever (this was part of his birthday gift) and needless to say we weren't in an argument far before we left (lol). Everyone needs to try this and try this with these guys! read more

Taya the Instructor was amazing with our 14 year old son Anthony. She was so caring and patient and made sure he was safe and confident and all times. She helped him immensely to ensure that he had an awesome experience. I highly recommend this place as it is an amazing experience lead by a great staff. Thank you Taya! read more

Aquatic Aviation - In the water - Flyboarding Near Me - San Diego, California

Aquatic Aviation ROCKS! I was looking for something extreme and different. Once I saw their video it was a must try for me. My buddy and I tried the hoverboard and it was totally sick!Silver Surfer? Hell yeah, sign me up!!! Not for the faint of hearts and if you "board" in general that definitely helps. Need to be in decent shape cause you will get tired. Tough part is getting on the board but after that get ready for launch! Hannah was our instructor and she was super informative, easy going, and went over all the safety guidelines before we took off. I had a blast! You need to check this place out if your in the need for a jolt of adrenaline!!! Thanks Mark and Hannah, I'll be back! read more

If I were just reviewing the instruction and the overall experience, it would be three stars because my brother-in-law (to whom we gifted this via Groupon for his birthday), was injured. We felt the instruction was somewhat rushed. However, my two star rating is more for their business policy. We had gifted my brother-in-law the 4 person package, however, two members from our party were unable to make it because approximately two hours before our appointment time, we received a call from the nursing home where my husband's grandmother was that she was in "decline" and we should go say our goodbyes and be with her. Therefore, my husband and myself (the other two party members), were unable to participate in our booking. My brother-in-law explained the unforeseen circumstance to the staff at Aquatic Aviation and they were unwilling to work with him in either offering more time, or putting the cost of the two missing people toward ANYTHING else. I find it completely calloused that this company refused to work with us with something as unpredictable as the decline of an elderly grandparent. Incidentally, my husband's grandmother passed away an hour and a half ago, and it was good that we spent her last moments with her. I really expected more compassion when trying to explain our situation as to why two members of our party couldn't attend. read more

My husband and I went there to have a flying board session.It was a lot of fun! Totally recommend for cardio and laugh time)

We came here with a Groupon for a 1 hour hoverboard/flyboard session that I bought my boyfriend for his birthday. No complaints! The staff was super friendly, even when our GPS took us a block away, someone came out from the office and waved us down when we were close. That was a lifesaver! We had Mark as the instructor, and he was awesome. Very informative, and he even let us switch from the hoverboard to the flyboard last minute. We thought that the 1 hour would be short, but even including the class, by the end of the session, he was super worn out. It's a lot of work for your legs and feet, so be prepared for that! The bf had a blast, and said he definitely wants to do it again, and we'll definitely come back here. If you're thinking about trying this place out, definitely take the leap! read more

Aquatic Aviation - Flyboarding Near Me - San Diego, California

When I got to the docks with the instructor I was pleasantly surprised when I bumped into an old lady in her late 50s, coming out of the water and radiating happiness from all over her face, saying what an amazing experience it was for her. At that moment all my fears went away and knew it was going to be great. Indeed it was such a fun and great experience! It looks scarier and tougher than what it really is. The staff is super friendly and helpful, they really walk you through the whole thing by the hand. If you live far from San Diego (like me), just don't miss the opportunity to do this if you are visiting. read more

So unbelievably fun! I'm so happy we did this on our trip out here. Mark was a fantastic coach and great guy. We will for sure be doing this again and bring our friends too! read more

My sister likes to find birthday presents that are simultaneously fun and hilarious, so she gave my roommate and me our first lessons at Aquatic Aviation. We weren't quite sure what to expect, but took their recommendation on starting with flyboarding when we called in to schedule. We arrived half an hour early as instructed to park and check in at the office, watched a short orientation video, and followed our instructor to their dock where we geared up. Each flyboard operates with a jetski, so we went one at a time and were able to watch and video each other. Our instructor Shane was amazingly patient and gave us helpful tips through the two way communications helmet while looking out for our safety with fall height, power level, and distance from hard objects. I'm pretty klutzy but was still able to fly by the end of my lesson. It was pretty fun floating in the air and looking around from a new perspective! My roommate was much better and started practicing little spin tricks almost right away. We had a great time and are already planning to bring some friends next time! read more

Paul & Bruno were great ! I had a great time and will be coming back for more fun for sure ! I will definitely bringing some friends back with me for the next round. This is going to be a great way to cut loose and have fun in the water without a doubt ! I highly recommend this to be put on your to do list ! You will not regret it ! It is a great break from the heat over here in the desert also. Thanks for a Great Day ! Robert B. read more

I received the iron-man flight package as a birthday present and it turned out to be easier and more fun than i could have expected. The guys are very patient and provide great tips and instruction to help you get the most out of the experience. I could have spent all day out there on the water. It's a definite must try for locals and tourists alike. read more

When my friend comes to visit we always try to do something out of the box and I figured this looked like a great experience. Such a rush and once you get the hang of it you're addicted. The instructor was extremely helpful and friendly, and neither of us wanted to stop in the end. Definitely a must for someone who wants a fun adventure. Though I warn you, you'll want to buy one of these after you try it out. Highly recommend! read more

We took my girlfriend's daughter to Aquatic Aviation as a present for 16th birthday. We were ready to see her go flyboarding when she noticed that Aquatic Aviation also offered hoverboarding. That appealed to her more. Erica (who took the reservation) and Mark (who actually drove the jet ski which powered the hoverboard) were absolutely amazing! Mark's unbridled enthusiasm enabled my girlfriend's daughter to pick up the fundamentals very quickly, and she actually surprised us with the tricks she was able to learn in 30 minutes. She had such a great time that she wants to come back for more! read more

Perfect day... My sister and i do cool shit together and this was more of that. Great company, great experience, great stafff and we loved every minute. Really good instructor took us out and we had a blast. Worth every penny and the memories will last forever. AYLA SAYS HELLO.... read more

My twin boys had a great time fly boarding. The staff were really helpful and we will definitely come back!!!

I'm poor and I would do this again in a heart beat. They teach you how to do fly in like two seconds. My brother and I had Paul and Andrew to instruct us. They were both really cool and enthusiastic about us getting the hang of it. Watching videos of it beforehand is really useful. They said a 70yo recently tried it and was able to get it down quickly. When we got to the dock before our reservation there was a 12yo gliding across the water so I think it's doable for most people. The water/weather was COLD since we went at 6pm when it is pretty breezy. In addition, you're dunking in and out of the ocean so our bodies were pretty much hypothermic and we were still completely stoked! Flyboarding is an amazing experience. Bucket list. read more

To the OWNER of Aquatic Aviation, The purpose of this email is to bring to your attention the phenomenal ambassador you employ for your business. My daughter bought one of your water boards for her fiancé's for his 40th birthday. My son Dustin and I did the install on my Seadoo RXT 300 and experienced some difficulties. In the parking lot of the lake we reached out to Mark at Aquatic Aviation for help. Mark's genuine concern and assistance was beyond our highest expectation. He tried to help us solve the issue and then researched "You Tube" videos we might find helpful. Since we were trying to meet a timeline of a birthday party his assistance was exceptional. For my daughters birthday this weekend we decided last night to order the smaller boots for her. I called Mark and he walked me through the process seamlessly. Our order is guaranteed 2 day shipping and complete thanks to Mark. Personally owning customer service oriented businesses with more than 140 employees I understand and fully appreciate exceptional customer service. If I had recordings of our calls to Mark throughout this process I would utilize them for my staff to hear what "the best" sounds like. I felt you deserved to know how impactful Mark's service is. We will be referring others to your business as they see our water board system because of Mark! Sincerely, read more

As first-time Flyboarders, our group had an amazing experience with Aquatic Aviation!! Our group of 7 included teenagers (14-18y/o) and young adults (early 20's). Our guide Bebeto connected with the whole party and provided great individualized guidance/instructions and patience. All of the group was upright and balanced above water within 10-15 minutes. They had a blast, literally & figuratively!! Do be ready to fall aplenty in the beginning..good balance and strong feet/arch/ankles very helpful! The location off the the dock/marina also provided for great pictures/video recording of each Flyboarder. Nearby seafood restaurant at marina was convenient, with offerings of fish & chips, crab cakes/sandwiches, and chicken strips. read more

It was fantastic experience!! I bought a coupon by groupon and added Gopro + drone package. Paul gave me discount price for the package that I paid $163($150 + tax) for extra. At first, I felt bit pricy but is was really worth it!! Paul recorded awesome views! Oh my..I forgot my instructor's name..sorry..he was really friendly and taught us gently with smile. Thank you so much for taking care of us! I really want to visit again! Is was sooo good experience! Thumbs up :) read more

Did the aquatic hover board yesterday and it was AWESOME. Such a fun experience and Paul was fantastic. Highly recommend going, it's such a badass thing to do. I got it after a few minutes of trying, though I have done snowboarding and skated before - it's very similar to both of those. read more

Awesome! Guys are great! It was a birthday present for a friend and it was total blast for him. He was talking about it most of the day. Paul and his partner were really accommodating and kind.

We are definitely coming back . Thanks guys for an awesome experience! read more

Awesome experience today! Much better than expected, couldn't have had more fun! Definitely coming back again to do the hover board. read more

I surprised my 17 year old son for his birthday with this adventure and he LOVED it!! The staff were excellent, experienced, easy going, very personable and professional!! I thought it would be difficult to get up and stay up, however, in less than 10 minutes I had it down (my son even quicker:) I owe it al to the skill of Mark who was able to control the water pressure which helped tremendously with keeping my balance! I (presumably) kiddingly asked if we could dive under water and then shoot up. I was doing it minutes later...AWESOME!! Great experience and videos to share!! read more

Worth every penny! Bought the "Iron Man" experience for my husband as a surprise for his birthday. With Paul's instructions he was flying within minutes and even doing dolphin dives! The guys were all about making our experience awesome. Being able to "fly" and dive at the same time is amazing. A must! read more
