No doubt about it – the Neoteric HoverTrek™ is a media magnet! As just one example, our customer Gary Meyers and his recreational hovercraft (named “Neo”) is giving Bubba Watson and Bubba’s Hover a run for the money when it comes to celebrity status.

Here's a great video clip of the film shoot on Nevada’s scenic Lake Las Vegas ...
“The
hovercraft was the main feature of the entire episode," Gary tells Neoteric. "I did a separate
interview where I described the HoverTrek’s features and benefits, and I hope
that my many positive comments will survive the editing process!”
“Tim Shaw rode in the hovercraft with me on
several “test flights” where we spun around on Lake Las Vegas and then flew up
the beach toward the cameras and other participants,” Gary adds. “On the first take, I was to run
perpendicularly up the sloped beach and stop right in front of multiple TV
cameras. No problem – perfect landing! (Thanks to Hovercraft Training Centers,
Chris Fitzgerald and Neoteric!) We filmed this approach four separate times at
my fastest possible speed, and each time I landed almost exactly on the same
spot.”
If you’ve
seen Gary’s unique hovercraft before, you’re
probably wondering what happened to its custom designs. NatGeo felt his craft
was so striking it might distract viewers! “I
was asked to cover the Tek-Wrap logos and images so as to not distract viewers,
so Neo was all white,” Gary
explains.
Enjoy a
few more photos of the film shoot while you wait for Gary and Neo to show you some jaw-dropping
hovering this fall on NatGeo’s None of the Above. Then leave a comment below to
