Press Release
Tuesday, 28 April 2009 for immediate release
The best fishing tackle in the world is of little value if you persist in fishing
areas where fish stocks are depleted; the dream catch is probably living
someplace out of reach. Most anglers use conventional boats; very few
consider alternative forms of transport.
Modern leisure hovercraft can reach areas that are normally out of reach
to marine craft and off road vehicles. And unlike airboats, hovercraft can
simply drive over dry land to reach locations, out of reach to everyone
else.
When winter comes, the majority of boats get packed away for months,
although some anglers get the snowmobile out to try a little ice fishing on
the frozen lakes. The Hov Pod is quite happy to fly over packed snow and
ice and when springtime comes round, and the ice thaws, Hov Pods have
the unique advantage of skimming over ice or water, so you reduce the
risk of nasty accidents, caused by dropping through holes in the ice. (So
much for the expression global warming, hypothermia kills)

stroke or 2 stroke engines to suit different requirements, and ofcourse
there are water proof storage areas to stow camping equipment, GPS VHF
radios and ofcourse room for the fish you might catch.
These versatile craft handle water, sand, mud, ice, snow, any flat surface;
driver and passengers get literally ........... blown away.
Hov Pods are designed for marine leisure, so there are many safety
features included as standard. The sheer versatility of the craft make
them ideal for all manner of applications, such as tenders, rescue craft,
allowing exploration to places other craft and people cannot reach, such
as winter ice-bound island homes, shallow rivers, or deserted islands
surrounded by coral-reefs. With no propeller to disturb marine life, they
are also eco-friendly – you can fly over eggs without breaking any, and
when hovering, they weigh less than a seagull standing on one leg.
The Hov Pod’s unique hull design utilises High Density Polyethylene – this
material has been used in the past in the construction of F1 crash barriers
and artificial joints. HDPE is very light, very strong and impact resistant,
and extremely buoyant so makes an ideal material for hovercraft
construction.
These versatile craft handle water, sand, mud, ice, snow; any flat surface.
