Coolest dad ever takes kids out for a hovercraft ride

“What did you do last weekend?” “Oh, not much, I just got on a hoverboard and rode around the neighborhood”. This is not sci-fi anymore, but a real, plausible conversation.

Most of us were first taken out to see our neighborhood in bicycles, yet this is something else. The incredible guy who is the star of our story built a hovercraft himself, and took his kids out for a spin. Because, you know, they’re never too young to take an interest in engineering.

This home-made hovercraft lifts using a leaf blower in the center, which is in time powered by a battery. As you can see in the video below, it definitely does pull off the trick. But, don’t take our word and see for yourself.

We’re getting dangerously close to 2015 to not have hoverboards alla Back to the Future 2, but here’s some progress for when it comes to water surfaces.

This post is all about the incredible water-based hoverboards by Zapata Racing. These guys come up with he most insane water gear, so be sure to check their website to see more, especially their water jetpack (yes, that’s a thing too!). The idea is just what it sounds like, and it’s just as crazy: using a flat board to hover over water, and do the most incredible movements! The price varies depending on your region, but you may check it out on their official website, and get excited with the video below these lines.
