Stag night preparations weighing you down? Corporate team building tearing you apart? Looking for an out of the ordinary activity? Running out of options? Running out of time? Relax; take the weight off. There really is a one size fits all solution to your problems. It’s an activity day unlike any other. Its fast, its fun – and it won’t give you the screaming ‘heebie jeebies!’ It’s the one experience that will satisfy the thrill seekers and the armchair adventurers alike: Hovercraft Racing. For thrills without the chills; just outright excitement.
Hovercraft racing! It’s a whole new world of off road / on road / off again excitement! It doesn’t matter if you’re a hardened daredevil or if you’re unimpressed by the usual array of thrill seeker activity days; this one will win you over. Hovercraft racing needs no prior experience. (Just as well, really.) In fact, it’s a great leveller; in more ways than one. Part karting; part driving; part sailing; it’s a truly unique way to travel!
It looks simple, but don’t be deceived. Can you maintain thrust without loss of lift? Can you adjust for obstacles far enough in advance to stay on course? It can feel like the hovercraft has a mind of its own, and it takes absolute concentration if you’re going to stay on track. You can race against the clock, or each other; or test your skills in the precision course. Just remember; it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a hovercraft to turn on a sixpence in the slalom!
Hovercraft activity centres are all kitted out for all comers (no matter how big your party,) and hover novices are always welcomed. You’ll be well trained and well provider for. You definitely won’t have to draw straws to decide who gets the battered old hovercraft with the leaky skirt – because there aren’t any. You’ll only ever get to race the finest machines.
Today’s hovercraft is a sophisticated bit of kit: constructed from tough lightweight glassfibre or aluminium, it’s sufficiently light and buoyant to float on water. At a mere 34kg the engine is light enough to facilitate lift, powerful enough to achieve speeds of 70mph! Forget the James Bond comparisons; these machines are light years ahead of those favoured by seventies secret agents in the obligatory hovercraft chase scenes! The telltale skirt is flexible for enhanced movement, but sufficiently durable to house the cushion of air that carries you aloft.
The hovercraft really is the ultimate all terrain vehicle. Slopes, drops, gullies and ditches can’t stop it. You’ll feel like you’re walking on air. Lake ahead? No problem and no need to detour; you’ve got licence to go where you want to go.
So tear up the map and take a chance on a hovercraft activity for your friends, family, and colleagues. They’re light, powerful and robust; they can do virtually anything you want; so the question is; where do you want to go first?!
