DESCRIPTION 

 

Zapata Flyride™ is a new generation hydro-flyer and the first to feature IFA – Intelligent Flight 
assistance.  

Zapata Flyride™ is designed to make hydro-flight accessible to all, whilst offering new sensations to 
experienced riders. Handling is similar to that of a PWC with automatic self-stabilization above the 
water. 

It can be used alone or with a passenger. 

Zapata Flyride™ connects to the PWC’s pump and must be connected to a PWC in order to operate.  

The supply hose (which is connected to the pump of the PWC) is attached to a Y shaped pipe which 
roots the water through the three nozzles (two at the front on each side of the machine and one at 
the back). This way, Zapata Flyride™ is propelled out of the water and can be driven with the 
handlebars. 

Zapata Flyride™ is free to use for all recreational activities and flight initiations. Lucrative shows and 
demonstrations are the exclusivity of ZAPATA®. 

Zapata Flyride™ is protected by international patents. 

All rights reserved. Any reproduction, even partial of the product by any means whatsoever is 

prohibited. 

Zapata Flyride™ is assembled in France and 95% of its parts are made in France. 

 

SECURITY 

 

Zapata Flyride™ is designed to offer maximum security to its user. IFA (Intelligent Flight Assistance) 
prevents falls, even if the user deliberately tries to loose balance. 

Very easy to use, it nevertheless requires the observation of some basic security rules. 

The Infinity mode must not be used when two people are riding the machine. The effort required is a 
little more intensive for a simple barrel roll; ensure to hold the handlebars firmly to perform this 
trick. 

The user must do his best to never fall or jump from the machine, to avoid any collision with the PWC 
or the hose. 

Each difficulty level must be practiced for 1 hour before moving on to the next level.Zapata Flyride™ 
can be used from the age of 5, in child mode and controlled with the joystick by the adult. Ensure the
