Southampton International Boat Show is back with its 'On the Water Stage' lineup featuring the stunning spectacle of wing foiling.
Hugo Dobrijevic, the national champion, will debut the sport at the show, displaying his awe-inspiring aerobatics in mid-air.
The boat show is known for delivering on the promise of maritime spectacle, staging heart-stopping performances and stunts that consistently stun audiences of all age groups.
James Prestwood will bring adrenaline-pumping action to the event with his Flyboard exploits, mounted on a board connected to a jet ski via a 23-metre hose. The jet ski's power propels the board up to 18 metres high, allowing Prestwood to awe crowds with backflips, spins, 'supermans', dolphin dives and slaloms.
Jack Moule, four-time national freestyle jet-ski champion, five-time British freestyle champion and world professional freestyle stuntman, completes the lineup.
With a repertoire of tricks like big air backflips, barrel rolls, underwater subs and on the water, Moule will surely amaze spectators with his display of aquatic athleticism.
Wing foiling is touted as the sport revolutionising the aquatic world, with Dobrijevic at its forefront.
His display will merge the cutting-edge hydrofoil technology with the finesse of windsurfing, surfing and kitesurfing, promising a sight to behold, organisers said.
