Some Guy In Canada Invented A Hoverboard That Can Actually Fly 16 Feet In The Air

We're closer to making our Marty McFly dreams come true.

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?'"

See him in flight below.
