Issa Calvon won the title following the daredevil manoeuvres of the eight contestants
that amazed the thousands of fans who had gathered alongside visitors to the Dubai
International Yacht Show, besides millions of viewers on international television
networks following the awesome spectacle of competitors zooming through the air using
specially designed suits propelled by jet engines aligned on the hands and backs of the
contestants.

The contestants represented various countries, including the UAE’s young gun Ahmed
Al Shehhi, who had undergone several weeks of specialised training in Great Britain to
meet stringent eligibility criteria set for those participating in the competition.
