This Flying Aquatic Hoverboard Is All Kinds Of Awesome

Who needs fictional flying brooms and carpets when you can have a real-life Hoverboard beneath your feet?

French jet ski champion Franky Zapata is fulfilling many a flying fantasy this week with the release of an action-packed video introducing the Hoverboard , a new aquatic device that promises to take riders to new heights.

In the video, watch as people pull some truly spectacular stunts on the Hoverboard -- swirling and spinning high above the ocean.

A cousin of the Flyboard (an aquatic board also invented by Zapata that propels riders into the air with the help of two water nozzles), the Hoverboard looks a little like a wakeboard except it's attached to a single hose that propels it forward and upward with jets of water. According to the Verge, the Hoverboard can get up to speeds of around 23 miles per hour .

"If this is not the way you imagined a hoverboard would work, that's OK. It might be time to accept that the future may be better than we first imagined it," CNET wrote of Zapata's new device , which goes on sale later this month.

Now all we need is some Hoverboard Quidditch , and our fantasies will truly be complete.
