It feels awesome! It's a bit like flying—you are simply floating around, using solid objects to help you navigate or push off of to gain speed and so forth. It is very exciting and you feel happy and free! Some people's bodies are a little more sensitive to the feeling of weightlessness and may feel a bit funny or nauseous, but it varies from person to person.
