A Canadian has invented a hoverboard THAT ACTUALLY FLIES 

You may feel you are watching a sci-fi movie, but this is for real!

 

Romania-born Canadian inventor Catalin Alexandru Duru has invented a hoverboard that can actually fly.  The Montreal-based innovator set a new Guinness World Record by travelling a distance of 275.9 metres  — five times the previous record — at a height of five metres above a lake in Canada this May. 

In this video, the 31-year-old took CBC's journalists to a Quebec lake and put a next-generation version of his hoverboard to the test for the first time. Was the test successful? Watch to find out.
