What almost seemed impossible it seems that Robert Zemeckis’ Back to The Future was not too far off in their predictions of the hoverboard in 2015
Thanks to a new Kickstarter campaign, The Hendo Hoverboard was created by Jill and Greg Henderson, a couple from California who put their hover technology in the hands of developers to create this masterpiece.
In the last day or so, Tony Hawk managed to get a go on the hoverboard.

Hawk managed to master it quite quickly,  though the technology is not quite there to be doing any grabs or plants.  There are also some other limitations, the main one being that the hoverboard can only work on non-ferromagnetic conductor surfaces like aluminium.
So, although we might not see many kids hoverboarding away for a couple of years, the technology behind this could have many other interesting uses. Hendo has even offered a Whitebox Developer Kit, allowing anyone to create hovering objects with ease.
Looking at the Kickstarter campaign and based on their projected goals, it looks like the first round of Hendo Hoverboards will be available in October next year.
