Hov Pod
Press Release
Tuesday, 28 April 2009 for immediate release
Subject: Fishing by hovercraft
The best fishing tackle in the world is of little value if you persist in fishingareas where fish stocks are depleted; the dream catch is probably livingsomeplace out of reach. Most anglers use conventional boats; very fewconsider alternative forms of transport.Modern leisure hovercraft can reach areas that are normally out of reachto marine craft and off road vehicles. And unlike airboats, hovercraft cansimply drive over dry land to reach locations, out of reach to everyoneelse.The 3-seater Hov Pod hovers on a cushion or air, so it can “fly” at anaverage height of 8 inches above the surface, at speeds of up to 45 milesper hour. They fly over small rocks and submerged coral and otherobstacles in their path, and skim over tidal streams, mud, sandbars,rapids, swamps and reed beds etc. When the river runs shallow, there isno propeller to get damaged by submerged rocks or coral, so you cangain access to virgin fishing areas, and enjoy catching the larger fish thatmay have eluded you in the past; size really does matter.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 onthe frozen lakes. The Hov Pod is quite happy to fly over packed snow andice and when springtime comes round, and the ice thaws, Hov Pods havethe unique advantage of skimming over ice or water, so you reduce therisk of nasty accidents, caused by dropping through holes in the ice. (Somuch for the expression global warming, hypothermia kills)One misconception about hovercraft is that they cannot stop on water,not true with the unique Hov Pod’s hull design which utilises High DensityPolyethylene – this material has been used in the past in the constructionof F1 crash barriers and artificial joints. HDPE is very light, very strongand impact resistant, and extremely buoyant so makes an ideal materialfor hovercraft construction. The Hov Pod can be fitted with different 4

stroke or 2 stroke engines to suit different requirements, and ofcoursethere are water proof storage areas to stow camping equipment, GPS VHFradios and ofcourse room for the fish you might catch.As you have no wheels or brakes for that matter, floating on a cushion of air enables a completely different yet extremely comfortable ride. Forexample, a quick flick of the steering handles, and you can effect a 180turn, or 360/720 spin – almost as if you were driving some anti-gravitational futuristic craft, back from the future.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 safetyfeatures included as standard. The sheer versatility of the craft makethem ideal for all manner of applications, such as tenders, rescue craft,allowing exploration to places other craft and people cannot reach, suchas winter ice-bound island homes, shallow rivers, or deserted islandssurrounded by coral-reefs. With no propeller to disturb marine life, theyare also eco-friendly – you can fly over eggs without breaking any, andwhen hovering, they weigh less than a seagull standing on one leg.The Hov Pod’s unique hull design utilises High Density Polyethylene – thismaterial has been used in the past in the construction of F1 crash barriersand artificial joints. HDPE is very light, very strong and impact resistant,and extremely buoyant so makes an ideal material for hovercraftconstruction.These versatile craft handle water, sand, mud, ice, snow; any flat surface.Hov Pods seat three adults.
