Nice technical breakdown of the flyboard air. Everyone knew that 1000 HP was an exaggeration, ( as are all numbers that come from Footstool Peter Pan ) Turbine engines are rated in thrust not horsepower.

Each Jet Cat P400 is rated at 88 pounds of maximum thrust, there are four, so lifting a 120 pound rider up in the air has room for acceleration and a possible emergency letdown in case of a single flameout. Those little side fans always bothered as too tiny appearing more Green Goblin cosmetic, but as something to counter the gyro turbine rotation make perfect sense. To pretend that they are forward thrusters for high levels of exaggerated speed, classic Pan.
