Introducing the Hov Pod

As an alternative to Jet Skis, RIBs, Quad Bikes etc, leisure hovercraft are much more fun to drive.
This is certainly true of Hov Pod - the Rolls Royce of personal hovercraft.
The Hov Pod is truly all-terrain. You can drive your Hov Pod straight out of the sea and onto the beach. Or you can use it on grass and have yourself a very special picnic. You can explore tidal estuaries, and perhaps stop to collect a few shell fish. You can even use your Hov Pod on snow! With enough room for three adults, the Hov Pod is guaranteed to raise a smile.
Start the engine, and your skirt will fill with air, lifting you 8 inches clear of the ground, so you are up and away. Open the throttle, and the craft will pick up speed, up to 50 mph depending on the size of your engine.
No need to find a slipway - any beach or riverbank should do.
No need to check tide data - you’ll rise above sand and mud. While strong currents are a concern for boats, hovercraft are not in contact with the water, and so ascend such problems.
No need to check your depth meter, you have no propeller to worry about. You just levitate and drive.
Submerged rocks or coral? Not a problem when you're cruising on air above the water level.
The Hov Pod has very real advantages over more conventional marine craft. While you're out having fun on the sand flats, the boaties and jet Skiers will be checking their clocks and tide tables.
You might be wondering how easy it is to drive the Hov Pod?
It takes just ten minutes to understand the basics. You use a normal handlebar for steering with twist grip for your throttle. Steer to the left or right, and the rudders direct the air accordingly. Once you have mastered the basics, the real fun begins.
The thrill of driving a small hovercraft is difficult to describe. Floating on a cushion of air at speed, you get the feeling that perhaps you are on a magic carpet, or anti-gravity skateboard. You have great freedom to express yourself.
You can do 180 degree turns on the beach, or perpetual 360s or 720 spins. As you can drive on sea and land, you’ll probably want to combine both in a little beach hugging exercise. You can turn in graceful loops, or slide and glide - whatever the mood takes you.
Owners of bigger yachts can use the Hov Pod as a tender, or as a fun watercraft.
The Hov Pod makes a great rescue and patrol vehicle too. You can access areas that are simply out of bounds for any other craft. For example, your Hov Pod will gracefully float over ice and go where snowmobiles fear to tread.
Manufactured in Southampton, England, close to where the first Hovercraft were developed and tested, the Hov Pod is enjoying tremendous success and is exported all over the world.
