Default Zapata Flyboard

Now this is a cool invention. Combine two of the most common dreams for humans...fly like a bird, swim like a dolphin...into one awesome invention. Looks to be well executed as well. I would love to give this a try.

Default Huh!

Now all they need is a micro nuclear-powered self contained power pack to eliminate that bulky support vessel and hose.

Uh, isn't the hose kinda critical for delivering the reaction mass (water) to the nozzles?

I suppose an antimatter reactor coupled with a replicator could eliminate the need for the support vessel and hose.
