A "human dolphin" has perfected a technique for plunging in and out of the waves using a water-powered jetpack.
Ross Ceaton, 30, is the only person in the UK to own a £15,000 FlyBoard aquatic jetpack, which can propel users up to 30ft in the air.
As well as mimicking the agility of dolphins leaping through the water, he can also fly through the air like the fictional superhero Ironman.
Mr Ceaton, who runs AquaticJetpacks in Poole, Dorset, hopes that FlyBoarding could become as popular as other adrenaline-charged watersports such as jetskiing and kitesurfing.
