Unless you’re Marty McFly, you probably have no hover board riding experience. But, if you’re Canadian inventor Catalin Alexandru Duru, you’ve made it your life’s work. The Romanian-born inventor set a Guinness World Record for longest and furthest hover board flight when he used his homemade invention to fly a distance of 905 feet for a minute and a half — and he did this while floating 16 feet over Lake Ouareau in Quebec, Canada.
Duru started his company, Omni Hoverboards. The 31-year-old engineer is already fielding requests, talking to investors and working on a second-generation model of his patent-pending hover board design. “I saw how technology was evolving, and I was thinking ’This is actually possible,'” Duru said in an interview with CBC News. “So I thought, ’Why not?'”
