A tow bar assembly for use in a droneboarding system is disclosed. The tow bar assembly includes a shaft adapted to be connected to an unmanned aerial vehicle via at least one tension line. A multi-axis interface device is associated with the shaft and is adapted to receive flight control commands from a user holding onto the shaft. A flight controller is mounted to the shaft and is adapted to generate flight control signals for controlling the flight path of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the flight control commands received from the user via the multi-axis interface device. The flight controller is further adapted to wirelessly transmit the flight control signals to the unmanned aerial vehicle.
