Behind the great ingenuity of Franky Zapata, founder of Zapata Racing there is a very important person who actually helped Franky to design the famous Flyboard. David Ohayon is a specialist in fluid and aero dynamics who creates models and uses specific computer software to analyze the aerodynamics principals applied in various objects. Therefore, he can offer solutions in order to improve performance in those kind of fields. He has worked in the past with Total (Oil Company), Shark (Helmets), Car Racing Teams, etc. Zapata approached him a few years ago explaining to him the idea of having a tube attached to a jet ski pump and Ohayon applied the equations and fluid dynamics to a model prior creating the Flyboard. Ohayon is on vacation in Greece and we met him in Athens through his friend David De Palma owner of Flyboard Hellas which is in a partnership with Champions dealership. We thank Ohayon in advance for the great conversation we had and the projects he revealed to us. We shall simply say that Franky Zapata is not sleeping and he is a hard working person. Therefore, there will be more toys coming up in the near future from his company.
