Nothing about this is technically impossible, with enough money (that part is the toughest to swallow: where did these kids get enough money?)... we've done it all before on a smaller scale. It's believable to me. I'm a skeptic, but I also know the internet jumps to "Fake!" pretty easily. Like with the Zapata flyboard, for example.

I was, to my infinite surprise, real.
Guinness just certified it.


"Franky Zapata, the French jet ski champion who invented the Flyboard Air, has set a new Guinness World Record for the farthest hoverboard flight. Zapata achieved the feat Saturday morning off the coast of Sausset-les-Pins in the south of France, riding his Flyboard Air hoverboard for a distance of more than 2,252 meters (7,388) feet). That far surpasses the previous record of 275.9 meters (905 feet, 2 inches), set last year by Canadian inventor Catalin Alexandru Duru."
