Some people go swimming with dolphins, enthralled with their easy movement through the water and the grace with which they occasionally breach the surface. Others, like Franky Zapata, make dolphins look pretty lame by comparison. Zapata, a professional jet ski racer and designer of the watercraft has created what he calls a Flyboard, a wearable apparatus that makes him part aquatic Iron Man, part dolphin analog, and all awesome.

The Flyboard is something like the water-powered jetpacks we’ve seen before, but unlike those previous iterations that simply let a user hover above the water’s surface, the Flyboard propels Zapata both beneath the surface and above it, lifting him more than 30 feet in the air via water jets attached to the feet and hands.

The cost to you: $6,400. We think you’ll agree it’s a small price to pay to be able to do what Zapata does in the video below.

I would drown quicker than a brick chained to a cinderblock.

I didn't know bricks could drown. I feel tricked.

Oh yes, whenever a town/city is flooded by storms or tsunami's or the like, people are quick to mention the human loss, but care little for the billions of bricks who perished while bravely doing their job.

Sadness! I had no idea, I will not refrain from eating bricks, it is just not right. GODAMMITTHEYARENOTONTHISEARTHFORUSTOUSEANDABUSE.

Tell that to the millions of bricks who are cemented face down, left to suffocate to death.

AHHHH they are everywhere, I feel so trapped by dead bricks.

I'm really not.

I actually fell terrible about this.

There is a way to alleviate your guilt. Donate to the RSPOB (Royal society for the protection of bricks). a donation of a few thousand should go some way to repentance. I am the head chairman of the charity so i can take the donation personally.

Can I ask how you will help the bricks? How do I know you aren't going to take the money for yourself and your cult followers, stamping on all bricks in your way to the top?

You had to go poking round... DIDN'T YOU. Well now it's come to this [raises sledgehammer above defenceless brick] had over the money... or i'll [!@#$] destroy it.

You know what, [!@#$] THAT brick.

Smash them all! They have never been nice to me, if I get to close they cut me, what's all that about? Bastards, is what its about, all about bastards.

Now that you guys mention it, I am part of an organisation that helps bricks be reintroduced into the wild. Releasing them in their Natural Habitat.
