Hendo Hoverboard: The World's First Hoverboard

Check out this Kickstarter campaign vid by Hendo Hover of the world's first hoverboard.. which seems to only work on metal surfaces - but it's one step closer to the future...

Ladies and gentlemen, the world’s first hoverboard is here! Well, that is if you have $10,000 to spare, millions of dollars to pave your city’s streets in copper, and don’t put a high value on stability or safety.

Let me revise that first statement. If you want to experience the joy of friction-free motion in specially tailored environments (copper-lined skate parks, essentially), and have $10,000 to spare, then the world’s first hoverboard is indeed here. It’s called the Hendo — named after its inventor, Greg Henderson — and it uses the same kind of electromagnetic levitation that allows maglev trains to buzz through the countryside at 300 mph.
