Here Jonathon Brockhoff, 22, of Bradenton demonstrates Flyboarding in the Manatee River Tuesday morning during a media conference about the inaugural 2015 Bradenton Area Riverwalk Regatta scheduled for Feb. 7, 2015, that will feature a full day of free events including Formula 2 Powerboat Supercharge Racing, a 40th anniversary tour performance by classic rock band Jefferson Starship and a fireworks show. In addition to bringing powerboat racing to the Manatee River and the shores of Bradenton and Palmetto, the family festival at Riverwalk will include concerts throughout the day, hydrodrag jet ski, extreme pogo shows, BMX stunt performers, a food festival, kids zone, Frisbee dog show and a 5K fun run. At a media event held Tuesday, performers from Hydro-cross Jet Ski Racing and Top Gun Flyboards, as well as two F-2 powerboat drivers, took to the river to provide a sneak peak of what attendees can expect during the Riverwalk Regatta on Feb. 7. A powerboat was also on display for up-close viewing. (January 20, 2015) (Herald-Tribune staff photo by Thomas Bender)
