The Fly Board is designed by Franky Zapata, a well-known name for inventions in water sports. The rider stands on the strapped board attached to a jet-ski engine with a 10m long pipe that draws water into the board. When water rushes into the board propelled by the jet-ski engine, the rider is pushed upwards. You can fly across the beautiful ocean of Dubai enjoying the canvas of the city. The experience will make you feel like living the life of a Dolphin for…

As we swam to the edge of the cliffs, I remember the sound of the waves crashing against them from people jumping and boats…

during 1942. Students in Devon and even teachers were being drafted. Gene saw the upperclassmen going off to war again and again. This eminent future wasn’t what they all focused on. Gene distracted himself with childish thoughts, cutting classes, and jumping off trees. ”We seemed to be nothing but children playing against heroic men” (7.79).
