Remember in Back to the Future 2 when Marty McFly hovered on a Hoverboard in 2015 and you couldn’t wait for that year to happen so you could own one. Well, it’s 2015 and someone finally made the dream a reality.
Canadian inventor Catalin Alexandru Duru created a propeller-based Hoverboard and now he is in the Guinness Book of World Records for riding on it the furthest distance. He traveled a record breaking 275.9 m (905 ft 2 in) on it over Lake Ouareau in Quebec, Canada. While that was the distance, the cooler fact is that he was 5 meters above the water as he claimed the title. In fact, he says that that height is only the beginning and he would like to get his invention to reach scary heights.
When will you be able to own one? That is a question for Marty McFly to find out the next time he travels to the future.
