The flyboard was invented in France, and is almost like an aquatic jetpack. A pair of jet nozzles in the rider's boots shoots water downwards with enough pressure to shoot the rider up to 15 meters into the air.

The flyboard performers hovered, span and rolled across the sky above the lake, amazing the crowd of onlookers at the MIXC.

"Even beginners can enjoy canoeing as a leisurely way to have fun," said an official from Wuxi culture and tourism development group.
