For kids who love speed and water there can be few more exciting experiences available. Leave the adults on dry land and prepare for the most thrilling ride of your life. The Honda Formula 4-stroke championship (HF4S) is the largest, most exciting offshore powerboat series in the world - these boats are responsive, manoeuvrable and so fast that they simply fly over the surface. It's wet and windy and much more fun than being at school! You'll start off with a safety briefing and an introduction to the boat, then it's time to get changed into the safety gear provided. Your instructor (usually a current or veteran racer) will give you full and comprehensive instruction on how to handle the child friendly Honda and in no time you'll be putting the boat through her paces around an offshore racing track. You'll get around twenty minutes of hands on driving time each (at the skippers discretion).

Wind tunnels have been used for years to test the aerodynamics of cars. Then some bright spark came up with the idea of flipping one upright and jumping into the airflow - and body flying was born. The wind tunnel is a 120mph wall of air, easily strong enough to support your weight, so that you can experience freefall without the need to jump out of a plane. You'll both start off with a safety briefing from your instructor before being kitted out with your specialist flight suit. Then step into the wind tunnel with your instructor, where you'll both be lifted into the air for two incredible 60 second sessions of body flying (as a comparison, during a skydive from 10,000 feet, you would experience around 30 seconds of freefall). If you're lucky, your instructor will jump on the flow and show you some astonishing freefall acrobatics. Your flying session will end with a debrief and you'll even get a DVD of your flights to take home.
