Contrary to what its name suggests, the Jetovator is not some fast paced elevator but in fact functions quite like a jet pack, albeit in the form of a motorcycle-like contraption! Instead of having to balance on a single board or rely on an amazing sense of balance to propel yourself out of the water, the Jetovator is an easier alternative with its unique shape. Riders get to ride on a device with 4 jets of water instead of 2, making it way easier to balance and to lift yourself out of the water.
