Bermuda Travel Inspiration: Mike Swan Takes You Flyboarding

Local artist and adventurer, Mike Swan, shows us his favorite activities and places around Bermuda. http://www.gotobermuda.com

Mike is the mastermind behind Coconut Rockets, a flyboarding outfit. What’s fly boarding? We’re glad you asked. The Flyboard attaches to your feet at one end, and to the jet end of a Personal Watercraft (PWC) at the other. Using jet thrust as propulsion, it lets you fly through the air and water. You may have seen celebs such as Rihanna trying out this amazing new watersport recently. Everyone who tries it has the same thing to say: “Awesome!” When he’s not out on the water, one of Mike’s favorite spots to get a bite to eat is the Country Squire in Somerset Village. He says Bermuda’s kind of like Cheers – “you go to that place where everybody knows you name.”
