First Real Hoverboard? The New Flyboard By Zapata Racing is CRAZY!

We’ve seen many different variations of the hoverboard come at us with different interpretations of exactly what a hoverboard is and how it functions.

We must say, though, that while we certainly have a lot of respect for all of those in the hoverboard space, this might just be the closest thing that we’ve seen to a free flying hoverboard.

As the product of four years of hard work, Zapata Racing has come up with what they’re calling the “Flyboard Air,” a contraption that’s capable of autonomous flight up to 10,000ft and speeds of 93.2mph.

While the board is only able to travel for 10 minutes in its current state, we would venture to say that this is something worthy of incredible excitement as the board is still in its prototype phase.

If this becomes something that is able to find government approval and make its way to the mainstream, you can definitely put us down for one!

We’re just imagining blitzing to work over top of all that rush hour traffic and also making it back home without a hitch or having to deal with that moron who wants to cause a traffic jam.

Check out the board in action in the video below as it makes a test flight and touches back down with success. We’re definitely stoked to see what their next mission with this innovation holds!
