We want it. Now.

Remember that authentic and scientifically accurate documentary Back To The Future II that was released in 1989? The one that said that some day we'd all be flying about on our very own awesome hoverboards?

Well, now it's come true... sort of. YouTuber devinsupertramp managed to get his hands on one of the brilliantly-designed hoverboards designed by Franky Zapata of Zapata Racing and has made the class clip you see below. And, unlike the one that Marty McFly uses in BTTF II, these hoverboards actually mange to work on water... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMaDhkNJA2g Thankfully though, the hoverboard doesn't come with any of the muppets in the video attached to it. Bitter? JOE? Never.
