Video: World’s First North American Flyboard Championships Held This June in Toronto, Canada


The public interest in growing, but Flyboard(ing?) still has yet to reach the mainstream. To help fix this, Zapata-Racing is helping create the first ever North American Flyboard® Championship 2014. Hosted in collaboration with Flyboard® Canada, Flyboard® Quebec, The Canadian Flyboard® Association, The American Flyboard® Association, The Mexican Flyboard® Association and The RedPath Waterfront Festival (that’s a mouthful!), the North American Championships will be hosted in Toronto, Canada this upcoming June 20-22.

Welcoming the top Pro Flyboarders from Canada, USA and Mexico, the North American Flyboard® Championship is baiting competitors with goodies, swag, fame and $2000 for first place (and $1,500 for second and $500 for third). Additionally, the North American Flyboard® Championship is promising over a million spectators. We have literally no idea how they can promise this unless the championship will be broadcasted internationally, but no such announcement has been confirmed thus far.

Nevertheless, it’s bound to add up to a pretty interesting event. Here’s the original press release:

You have been un-randomly selected to join us at this massive historical event!

This is the world’s first North American Flyboard® Championships held this June in Toronto, Canada. This event is conjunction with Zapata Racing, The Canadian® Flyboard Association, The US Flyboard®Association, and The Mexico Flyboard®Association.
