Franky Zapata set a new Guinness World Record title Saturday for the farthest hoverboard flight during a spectacular attempt off the coast of Sausset-les-Pins in the south of France.
The French Jet Ski champion managed a new benchmark distance of 2,252 meters (7,388 feet), far surpassing the previous record of 275.9 meters (905 feet, 2 inches), Guinness reported.

A British inventor constructed a metallic hover bike that uses propellers to allow it to float a few inches off of the ground."Considering the amount of time I've spent on this and the fact this is my first EVER attempt at making anything that leaves the ground this is well and truly a job well done, it's easy to overlook the true scale of what takes to make something like this work at all," Furze wrote.
Furze shared a video showing off his invention as he attempted to learn how to control it.
