Hov Pods fly on a cushion of air; so glide across sea, lakes, rivers, grassland,
marsh, sand, snow and ice! No need to bother about tide times or slipways - turn
the key and go!
And if there’s no water around, no worries, you don't need
water to have fun.
* Amazed at just how quick, simple and easy the Hov Pod is to use.
* Impressed with Hov Pod’s versatility and range of manoeuvres and tricks.
* Staggered at the ability to launch on any tide from any patch of land.
Forget all about RIB’s, speedboats and other types of personal watercraft, Hov
Pod is versatile and unique, it can travel over many surfaces that restrict
other craft, skim from water to land and back again! Gliding through long
sliding loops! Spinning in wild arcs or tight 360’s! Park up on dry land, no
need to wade into cold water to recover the craft onto the trailer!
How about using the Hov Pod Hovercraft as:
* A superyacht tender to lower and go anywhere on water, or straight on to land.
* A thrillingly different and exciting slide and glide high speed toy.
* A way of exploring or getting to all those secluded or inaccessible places no
one else can get to.
* The way to beat the tides and leave home or reach a mooring at any time of
day.
* A unique machine for fun or access over any difficult terrain such as swamps,
estuaries, sandbars, flooded ground, reeds, submerged coral, ice etc.
* A responsive and economical rescue, survey, patrol or inspection craft.
* A team building, activity, adventure, charter or rental income earner.
Hov Pod is an incredibly versatile, highly exciting and thrillingly different
craft.
The Hov Pod is manufactured in Southampton, England, by Reaction International
Ltd. Company founder and Managing Director Peter Ward, established the company
in the year 2000.
As a marine engineer Peter travelled to many exotic destinations and pondered on
the question, "Why has no one exploited hovercraft technology for the marine
leisure industry?" After a number of years market research, he concluded that
although there were many kit built and 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
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, are known to stop suddenly on water, (known as ploughing
in), and when they do stop on water, occasionally sink!
Not only would his design need to overcome these problems to meet safety
standards, he also wanted the craft to look as good as personal watercraft. To
reach this aim, he contracted out manufacture of specialist GRP (Glass Fibre)
construction to specialist top quality boat manufacturers. By September 2002,
the first craft were ready for launch at the Southampton International Boat
Show, and took the world by storm. Television companies lined up to conduct
interviews and test drive the Hov Pod, and queues formed as hundreds of people
wished 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, and have received orders from as
far away as , Asia, 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, evident by the growing
demand of export orders received by the company.
