Man Sets Guinness World Record With Homemade Hoverboard: Video

Move over, Marty McFly. Canadian engineer Catalin Alexandru Duru has set a new world record for the furthest distance traveled on a hoverboard, and unlike McFly’s board in Back to the Future Part II, Duru’s actually works on water. He set the new record during a stunt that took place last week on Quebec’s Lake Ouareau.

According to Guinness World Records, Duru managed to travel a distance of 905 feet and 2 inches, smashing the previous record of 164 feet. He reached a height of about 15 feet during the stunt, and as you can see in the video the hoverboard remained stable with Duru appearing in control at all times.

Duru designed and built the hoverboard himself, using two propeller-based drones fixed together. He controls the direction by shifting his weight, similar to how a Segway rider gets around. Unfortunately, a very short flight time means Duru’s hoverboard isn’t quite ready for prime time just yet.
