SDK Entertainment brings an unforgettable hydro flying performance to the water, led by professional flyboarder and world-record holder Scotty Knemeyer alongside his wife and performance partner Stevie Knemeyer.
Scotty began flyboarding in 2012 and quickly became known for pushing the limits of the sport. As one of the early pioneers of hydro flight, he has traveled the world performing in Japan, Ireland, the Maldives, Australia, Bermuda, Mexico, Hawaii, and across the United States. His performances feature powerful launches, flips, dives, and aerial maneuvers that send him soaring high above the water.
What truly makes their show unique is their tandem performance. Flying together requires incredible balance, timing, and trust. Scotty controls the board while Stevie performs alongside him, moving with the flight as they spin, glide, and flip through the air together. Their routine turns an extreme sport into a synchronized performance that very few people in the world can do.
In addition to their daytime performances, SDK Entertainment also presents a spectacular night show, featuring custom LED light suits that illuminate the sky as they soar above the water. The glowing aerial choreography creates a stunning visual experience that transforms hydro flight into a true nighttime spectacle.
Now based in East Wenatchee, Washington, Scotty and Stevie love bringing the show home and sharing it with their community, friends, and family.
This year marks their third annual performance at REAL HOMES ROCK FEST in Rock Island.
