Among all the activities, why choose jet boarding? Love Bora Bora gives you all the good reasons to jet surf in Bora Bora.

1. Because jet boards are CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

First of all, what is a jet board?

The jet board, or jet surf, is a motorized surfboard invented in 2008 by Martin Sula, a Czech automotive engineer specializing in Formula 1 racing. It’s a combination of a surfboard and a jet ski. The motor, integrated into the board, works like a jet ski engine.

The rider find his/her balance on the board and uses a trigger to apply varying degrees of power to the gas pedal to propel himself/herself.

It’s incredible to be able to surf the water in complete autonomy, without depending on waves, wind or boat traction.

Jet surf can reach an average speed of 25 mph. You choose your speed according to how comfortable you are with the board. It’s the perfect way to have the best time on the water!

2. Because the GUIDE helps you

Adrien Chancelade was born in Bora Bora to a Polynesian mother and a French father. He has been working in tourism on Bora Bora since 2005. He started out as a jet ski guide, then spent a few years as a lagoon guide on excursion boats. He also worked as a guide for 4×4 and quad activities. He then ventured into entrepreneurship and created Bora Bora JetBoard a year ago.

So it’s an experienced person who will accompany and guide you across Bora Bora’s lagoon in a jet surf.

You’ll feel his kindness and his desire to make sure you have a great time, and you won’t be disappointed. As you will see, Adrien is a relaxed, caring and warm Polynesian guide.

3. Because it’s UNIQUE

Most thrill-seekers opt for jet skiing. Jet skiing is available in most tourist destinations. Jet surfing is not possible everywhere. The activity is much less democratized, and being able to try jet surfing on Bora Bora’s lagoon is a unique opportunity.

These are only private tours, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the activity in peace and quiet. It’s possible to book up to 4 people or 2 jet boards.

Adrien will pick you up directly at your hotel or at the meeting point set at the time of booking. You’ll go by boat to the spot dedicated to this type of activity.

After a safety briefing, he’ll give you all the equipment you need to practice (lifejacket and helmet), so you can have fun in complete safety.

Your guide will give you a demonstration and all the tips and tricks you need to get up and enjoy the thrill of the ride. The advantages of a private tour is that Adrien will be with you all the way, so you’ll leave with plenty of memories.

After all this excitement, you’ll be offered a snack of local fruit and water, surrounded by the lagoon of the so-called Pearl of the Pacific.

4. Because THRILLS are guaranteed

The jet board really does offer a feeling of freedom, thanks to its autonomy. You can glide without the aid of traction and go wherever you want. Even people who have never surfed before can experience this gliding sensation. Indeed, even if the jet board looks impressive, you don’t need to be a good sportsman to do it. It’s a fun, accessible activity.

“Soothing, exhilarating, beautiful” is the feedback from most people who have tried the activity. Indeed, the adrenalin is there and the disconnection guaranteed. Go for it!

5. Because Bora Bora is the BEST SPOT in the world to try it out

Bora Bora’s lagoon is so beautiful, the view is magical. It’s quiet and uncrowded compared with other destinations. It really is the best spot to discover jet surfing and enjoy the lagoon.

6. Because ANYONE can do it

Anyone who is physically fit can jet board from the age of 14. After that, there’s no age limit. It’s all a question of physical aptitude.

The only constraint is the weight limit. For safety reasons, you can’t get on the boards if you weigh more than 231 LB.

Although every person is different, with the right guide and the right advice, everyone can surf successfully. So put it on your bucket list.

7. Because this activity offers a certain FLEXIBILITY in the organization of your trip

Bora Bora JetBoard only offers private tours, so you decide the times that suit you best.

The activity, including transfers, lasts between an hour and a half and two hours, depending on the pick-up location. After the briefing, you’ll have an hour to enjoy your board.

You define the pick-up point and time yourself. Bear in mind, however, that the sun sets early in Polynesia, so you’ll finish no later than 4 p.m. in January and 3 p.m. in July, for example.

You can also combine several activities in one day. Most activities start at a maximum of 10 a.m. in the morning and 2 p.m. in the afternoon. So you can fit your Jet surfing session in between these activities. It’s also ideal if you’re looking for an activity to do on the day of your arrival or departure. You can plan your jet surfing tour depending on your flight schedule.
