Malay Travel - 05 - Putrajaya Flyboard

Living with a battalion of men.. ranging from age 39 to 6, feel i have lost my girly instincts somewhere down the lane. And ever since I happened to read about this Flyboarding centre in Putrajaya, it had by  default, taken a place in our itenary. 

A few changes had to be made to our plans, as they work only on weekends, unless we are in a large group. And my group, is just a major,  a partially major (11 yr old) and two mini's (age 7 and 6) . 

But they had it all... something suitable for every age group. 

Flyboard Malaysia , located near the Putrajaya Conventional Centre in the Marina,..this is halfway between KLIA and KL. So, for those who would like to have an adventurous side to your visit to Malaysia...see that you are around KL, or atleast arrive/depart from KL during weekend, so that you dont miss out on this experience.

Drive time from KLIA -about 30 - 40 mins. 

Time expected to spent here - about 1 -2 hours depending on your group and the rides  you would like to take . 

Our flight would arrive in KL International Airport by 1:30 noon, so we still had time to make it to Putrajaya before closing. But the greatest concern was our flight delay. The very first flight from Kuwait was delayed by about and hour and a half, but thankfully, we didnt miss out on our connection . So..we could anyways, make it on time. Was out of KL airport by around 3pm, and it was straight to the Flyboards. 

Our 10 day travel of Malay-Singapore began on a flying note !!..we could say. 

The contact is through facebook. Dropped them a message enquiring the details, and Mr. Aris, the CEO, would be good enough to answer all your queries. 

The briefing in progress

The flyboarding for adults is about 35 mins. 10 mins introductory briefing, followed by 20 mins practicals, in the water. 

            getting ready to plunge ...

Swim like a dolphin..and fly like ironman !!! or rather..try to.. and trust me..it was not that easy. 

UP !!

and UP !!

oopppss...

and DOWN !! 

Flyboarding for adults - MR370/ride. (about KD 25) . Not bad..for an experience. 

The younger ones could get a tandem ride, with one of the staff taking them along. 

There would be no stunts...just flight above the water level say at 2 mts height

Rate - MR 50/ride. (KD 2.5 only !! ...nice!!! )  

Our boy no.3 takes his turn 

off they go

 UP !!

and UP !! 

Waiting in line was our eldest. But being 11 yrs and on the plumper side, he was in a fix. He was too young for the flyboards, and too heavy for the tandem. But...not wanting to be left without any rides. he himself would go and speak to them if they would have something for him. 

And it was .....SAIL PADDLING. 

Rate MR 70 / hour..or half an hour..sorry,. i forgot ! 

Notice the sky ? The rains. And heavy...very heavy..it poured. 

I had no clue if i was doing the right thing..letting the boys out in such heavy rains...as such we had just arrived and had 10 more days of travel. Anyways...thankfully...no one got sick...and all was well ! 

Mr. Aris  and one of the staff too would join him . 

Terribly heavily..it rained.  

The younger ones would wait indoors while their      Big B did the paddling. 

And that us. with the team Putrajaya Flyboard.

(And...just to share...in case your flight arrival time 

in KL is in the morning, and your hotel checkin is 

by noon...then..go..go straight to Putrajaya. As i 

said..its half way between KLIA and KL, and you 

can very well spent some time here. You have the 

Flyboards, and  the other end of the river has got 

the River Cruise.  

Cruise Tasik Putrajaya, which does give some good 

deals , with some packages inclusive of a buffet 

lunch at the nearby Conventional Centre. )

20/12/2013                                                                          Friday, 6:30 pm

 

  (hey ! you noticed the date ? 2012 2013 ! Two years together. ;) )

 

 

The Tree is up..the Crib is set...my lill LED snowmen and Santas are out...our

home is up for our "last" Christmas. Well..by last.i mean, its our last, in this flat where we are right now. Moving to better premises by next month..so, definitely want this to be special.

 

Some images of our home...



 

Hark Now Hear....the Angels sing....

The crib .Alright..alright...Baby Jesus just landed a few days prior...on demand by my little one.

 

Our tree...at night. (sorry for the bad quality)

 

Typing up this post from the study desk...its big time shouts, laughter and cheers, rising from our living room. Real celebrations for dH and his College Allumini Cricket Team. It was the finals today..and they won the match !!! and this win..is indeed special.

 



Well...theirs "IS" a strong team; have been reaching the finals for the last 7 yrs and was winning too...except for last 3 years. The same oponents all yest years, and compared to the men in late 30's and 40's thats us... the other team on the other hand are more younger blood, more bachelors. We kept losing to them, in the finals. And now..the trophy is back !..Time to rejoice !!!!

 

The first round of celebration is what is ongoing now...at our home, while typing this down (God knows, when this will be posted thou) . Now, its just the men... the team alone. Next goes..with team members and family, on a larger scale. Yet to take place. Looking forward to it.

 

 Some hand-assemled/home -made Chrsitmas decor.

 

Wrapped the greens around an inverted yogurt cup and placed the candle on top.

 

 These candles just wouldn't stay perfectly straight..yet..fine enough.

A makeover for the corner flower pot

 

Door wreath - Cut a ring out of card board and stitched the greens and decorations atop.

 

Some edible Christmas art ? Pop onto my cook-ie space Quick Picks for the details.

The technicality in sports - behind the scene equations

There's this magazine called "BULLETIN" by Red Bull which comes free with the news paper once or twice a month (honestly, have not bothered to check the frequency of its arrival)

 

 

Well..i am definitely not a sports person, unlike my husband who is in their college allumini sports team - be it cricket, football or volleyball. But got to admit...ever since they started featuring the Redbull Stratos Jump by Felix Baumgartner...i was literally looking forward to it. How a simple wish to jump from the top-MOST....and how they go around getting it done. It was just ultimate. I was a keen follower fo that particular feature.

 

 

The entire details are well in this site. Think..you have a dream..and is determined to work it out..go out and contact the Red Bull guys. They knows exactly how to get things done.

 

And the next attractive part of this magazine..is them featuring one sport per issue and the "technical equations" behind it. What works best for each sport.

  

 

 

You see that ??

just got me wondering..God ! do you really need soo much calculations  just to be throwing a ball ??

 

 

maths + physics = sports ???

 

again..at the end of the day...just can't help myself from wondering..."why can't some really rich inflential person have a dream....that I AM GOING TO ERADICATE CANCER FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH...and they get going with the ultimate team - The Red Bulls...and just GET IT DONE !!!

 

Millions would be soo greatful for this cause.
