Hoverboard levitating board breaks Guinness World Record (video) May 25, 2015 - 10:24 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Hoverboards are no longer a fictional dream set by Back to the Future Part II but a reality, Digital Spy reports. “We've seen several trials of real hoverboards - most notably by former professional skateboarder Tony Hawk - but the technology is quickly evolving and is now even breaking world records,” Digital Spy said. Inventor Catalin Alexandru Duru built his own hoverboard prototype and flew it 905 feet over a lake in Quebec, Canada. Alexandru Duru managed to fly a total of 275.9 meters, becoming the first person ever to break the Guinness World Records title for the farthest journey by hoverboard. The machine is propeller-based and controlled by the movement of the user's feet. "The prototype can be used anywhere, but is usually tested over water because of how dangerously high it can fly (which is ironic considering that the movie joked that it can't)," Alexandru Duru explained.
