Abstract

A forward water propelled hover board comprising a rigid board having greater length than width. The rigid board having a rear end with a high pressure water outlet nozzle and a central pipe connecting a water hose inlet, wherein the outlet nozzle when fed with a high pressure water source from the water hose inlet provides a forward thrust to the water propelled hover board.

Claims (22)

1. A water propelled flying board comprising:

a rigid board having a length greater than a width;

said rigid board having a top surface upon which a rider can ride;

said rigid board having a rear end with a high pressure water hose inlet connection;

said rigid board having at least one rearward facing high pressure water outlet nozzle;

a central pipe connecting the water hose inlet connection to the outlet nozzle; and

wherein the outlet nozzle, when fed with a high pressure water source from the water hose inlet connection, provides a forward thrust to the water propelled flying board.

2. The water propelled flying board of claim 1 , wherein an angled position of the water outlet nozzle provides a lift thrust in addition to a forward thrust.

3. The water propelled flying board of claim 2 , wherein the outlet nozzle further comprises an angle adjustment means functioning to adjust the angled position of the water outlet nozzle.

4. The water propelled flying board of claim 3 , wherein the angle adjustment means further comprises a handle.

5. The water propelled flying board of claim 1 , wherein the at least one rearward facing high pressure water outlet nozzle further comprises two rearward facing high pressure water outlet nozzles.

6. The water propelled flying board of claim 1 further comprising a tiller means functioning to adjust a rearward tilt angle of the rearward facing high pressure water outlet nozzle.

7. The water propelled flying board of claim 1 , wherein the central pipe is located centrally along a longitudinal axis of the water propelled flying board.

8. The water propelled flying board of claim 1 further comprising a wireless controller for the rider to control a jet ski which powers the high pressure water.

9. The water propelled flying board of claim 6 , wherein a wireless controller controls the tiller means to adjust the rearward tilt angle.

10. The water propelled flying board of claim 1 , wherein the high pressure water hose inlet connection further comprises a rotatable bearing allowing the flying board to orient 360° relative to a hose connected to the high pressure water hose inlet.

11. The water propelled flying board of claim 1 , wherein the top surface further comprises a mounting means for a rider's feet functioning to hold the rider's feet onto the flying board.

12. The water propelled flying board of claim 2 , wherein the high pressure water hose inlet further comprises a quick disconnect fitting.

13. The water propelled flying board of claim 10 , wherein the high pressure water hose inlet further comprises a quick disconnect fitting.

14. The water propelled flying board of claim 2 further comprising a source of a high pressure water comprising a jet ski and a high pressure hose connected to the high pressure water hose inlet connection at an outlet end of the hose with a quick disconnect fitting and a rotatable bearing, and an input end of the hose connects to a universal adapter which is attached to a high pressure water outlet port located at a rear of the jet ski.

15. The water propelled flying board of claim 14 , wherein the universal adapter further comprises a diverter conduit which then connects to the input end of the hose.

16. The water propelled flying board of claim 15 , wherein the universal adapter further comprises a mounting means functioning to provide a removable connection to a standard jet ski nozzle and a removable connection to the diverter conduit, one at a time, to an exit port of the universal adapter.
