A personal flying water jet board system, propelled by a power boat, the personal flying water jet board system comprising:
- a jet board constructed to support a user, the jet board having a base with a first surface which is a top surface on which the user stands, a second surface which is a bottom surface, a first end, a second end, a longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end, a first side edge which is a leading side edge when the board is in use, a second side edge which is a trailing side edge when the board is in use, and a transverse axis extending between the first side edge and the second side edge;
- a water jet propulsion system mounted on the bottom surface of the jet board and having a plurality of jet nozzles oriented to extend in the direction of the transverse axis of the base of the jet board, each jet nozzle having an intake section and a discharge section;
- a water manifold oriented to extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the base of the jet board and fluidly connected to the intake section of each jet nozzle for conducting water through each jet nozzle and out of the discharge end of each jet nozzle in the direction of the transverse axis of the jet board, the discharge end of each nozzle being located adjacent to the second side edge of the jet board and oriented with respect to the second side edge of the jet board such as to discharge water out of and away from the second side edge of the jet board for propelling the jet board through the air;
- a hose fluidly connected to the water manifold to direct water into the water manifold for distribution thereof to the jet nozzles;
- a water intake system removably mounted on the power boat and fluidly connected to the hose for directing water from a water source adjacent the power boat and into the hose for distribution into the water manifold and having a plurality of water-conducting support pipes;
- each water-conducting support pipe having an intake member with an intake end oriented towards the forward end of the power boat to accept water as the power boat moves forward and a discharge end oriented toward the aft end of the power boat, and each intake member being in the shape of a converging nozzle which increases the water pressure as the water flows from the intake end of the intake member to the discharge end of the intake member, the intake end of each intake member being positioned to be submerged in the water when the power boat is in a body of water and to have the water forced into each intake member when the power boat moves through the water, the discharge end of each intake member being fluidly connected to an associated water-conducting support pipe to force the water into each water-conducting support pipe for redirection of the water into each jet nozzle via the hose and the water manifold;
- and,
- a fluid connector fluidly connecting each water-conducting support pipe to the hose.
