Hi Friend, I'm Wycliffe Williams

Hov Pods were originally designed as marine pleasure craft, but have evolved into so much more. Safety has emerged as the primary concern of Hov Pod Owners and it has been thoroughly addressed, but more on that later...

Right now, lets see how much fun Hov Pod owners are having:

      "I can say that we both found the experience of piloting a Hov Pod as brilliant
       and most exhilarating!"
                                             ...Peter D. Bishop

      "Fantastic! I'm totally amazed. It's so much fun. It was so great to go straight
       out from the car park, over the land to the water. The wave jumps are unbelievable
       and the cushion makes it so comfortable."
                                                                       ...Clive

SAFETY:

Safety will never be sacrificed for fun. The Hov Pov is not only the World's most advanced Hovercraft, it is also the World's most safe Hovercraft. Here are some of the advanced safety features you get with the Hov Pod:

The greatest safety concern of Hovercraft has been "ploughing-in." We discuss that indepth a bit later...

HOV POD HISTORY

The Hov Pod is manufactured in Southampton, England, by Reaction International Ltd. Our Company founder and Managing Director, Peter Ward, established the company in the year 2000.

As a marine engineer, Peter has travelled to many exotic destinations and pondered the question, "Why has no one exploited hovercraft technology for the marine leisure industry?" After years of market research, Peter concluded that although there were many racing craft available, no one had designed a craft to meet the exacting standards demanded by the marine leisure market.

Marine leisure buyers demand safety, ease of use, durability, reliability and they have come to expect a dealer network capable of providing on-going sales and technical support.

The personal watercraft market is huge by comparison to hovercraft. Peter set out to design a craft capable of addressing all of the known problems associated with hovercraft. For example, the perception that all hovercraft are noisy, difficult to control, known to stop suddenly on water, (known as ploughing in), and when they do stop on water, occasionally they sink!

Not only would his design need to overcome these challenges in order to meet strict safety standards, he also wanted the craft to look as good, if not better than personal watercraft. To reach this aim, he contracted a specialist top quality boat manufacturer to do the Glass Fibre construction on the Hov Pod. By September 2002, the first craft were ready for launch at the Southampton International Boat Show, and they took the world by storm.

Television companies lined up to conduct interviews and test drive the Hov Pod. Lines formed as hundreds of people wanted to experience the Hov Pod ride. Leading magazines and National newspapers began to feature the Hov Pod. Film companies featured the Hov Pod in science fiction and adventure movies, TV footage was syndicated around the world.

Reaction International Ltd are now busy building an international network of dealers to provide sales and technical support. They have received orders from as far away as Australia, South Africa and the Middle East. The Hov Pod is testimony to the fact that if you can invent or develop a new product that fits a niche market, the world will beat a path to your door. This is evident by the growing demand of export orders received by the company. With our history lesson finished, lets move on to "Ploughing-in"

PLOUGHING-IN

This happens when the nose of the craft dips into the water. The craft will come to a sudden stop and its occupants will be thrown overboard. Other Hovercraft manufacturers will tell you that all Hovercraft "Plough-In." That is not entirely true. The Rolls Royce of Hovercraft, The Hov Pod does not "Plough-In." The complete overall design of the Hov Pod will not allow it to "Plough-In."

Subtle design changes such as full positive enclosed polystyrene buoyancy helps prevent "Ploughing-In." The fact that the Hov Pod doesn't produce a wake also contributes to the prevention of "Plough-In."

LET'S TAKE A RIDE NOW!

The Hov Pod is waiting for you to come aboard and take your seat. You excitedly walk toward the craft looking the part in your lifejacket. At this point your blood begins racing with excitement. Your heart begins to pound in your chest with expectation. You clamber aboard, turn the key and the craft roars to life. The adrenaline is pumping through your veins. You feel the power of the craft as it moves forward on the beach sand. You smile with excitement as you notice that there isn't much of a difference on sand or on sea. The waters are calm, ensuring that your ride is smooth and exhilirating.


Now for the fun part...the turns! The HovPod turns on a dime. You can even use your little finger. You can do so many amazing fun manoeuvers. Try and make it travel in two directions at once; that's really fun. Do a 360, a sideways, an all terrain transition and spins. Spins that will make you dizzy. Okay...okay...thats enough!

Want a real live demo? We would be delighted to give you one. All you have to do is complete this simple form and Hov Pod will contact you with the name of your local dealer.

Warmly,

Wycliffe Williams
