Hov Pod
Press Release
Tuesday, 28 April 2009 for immediate release
Subject: Leisure hovercraft - the future of boating?
I love boats, don’t get me wrong, but you have to admit, there are timeswhen they can be a tiny bit limited. Take for example low-tide – all thatmud and no where to go, have you ever imagined a boat that could justhover down the river at low tide? Boats struggle against strong currentsand tidal streams, leisure hovercraft just skim over that sort of thing.Boats have to watch the depth of water, and forever look out forsubmerged rocks and coral, leisure hovercraft have no propellers to snagon items, they hover 8 inches above the surface. Imagine setting waypoints and taking a direct route, no need to check charts and echosounders, just cross the mud and go for it. Boats are restricted by icylakes, hovercraft skim over the surface; no restrictions reaching yourwinter home with a hovercraft, you can even stop off and do a little icefishing. Some boats need trailer recovery, so one of your passengers hasto get the trailer unhitched and into the wet stuff if the slipway restrictsthe towing vehicle reaching your boat – leisure hovercraft just drive upthe slipway.All I want for Christmas is my own personal leisure hovercraft. Thesevehicles are the ultimate all terrain craft, and allow you to fly at speedsup to 45 mph over any flat surface. One minute you can be flying downthe river at a cruising height of 9 inches, and then by a flick of the wrist,be scooting up the river-bank, or over the mud, or up the beach to fetchan ice cream.Hov Pod Hovercraft seat three adults and allow access to beach 24/7 –they traverse above small rocks and submerged coral and other obstaclesin their path, and skim over tidal streams, mud, sandbars etc. When thewater runs out, just drive up the beach or slipway in style, these craft aretrue all-terrain vehicles.The Hov Pod’s unique hull design utilises High Density Polyethylene – thismaterial has been used in the past in the construction of F1 crash barriers

Page 2Hov Pod, and now for something completely different
and artificial joints. HDPE is very light, very strong and impact resistant,and extremely buoyant so makes an ideal material for hovercraftconstruction.Hov Pod hovercraft fly 8 inches above the ground, indeed any flat surfaceat speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. People get a real buzz driving at thatspeed particularly on land to water transitions – you expect a bump butfeel so comfortable. Upon returning to land, you hear your passengersgasp as they expect you to slow up at the water’s edge – but Hov Pods just keep on flying.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.
