The Hovercraft sitting deflated on the ground by the Bay. A man points and then snaps a picture of the Hovercraft. The Hovercraft quickly inflates and starts to move backwards, kicking up a lot of dust. Inside the Hovercraft a business man is looking out the window. The Hovercraft in movement just hovering over the water in the bay. The Hovercraft displays how it can turn sharply in a small area.
