Yes the hover boards are real! I have made a prototype but... I fell off and... broke it. Thought IT WAS EPIC!

It was very easy and difficult at the same time... All you need to do is set magnets so that they can support your weight and   make it that there is a magnetic field as the ground. The two magnets of the hover board and the ground will repel each other, and balance is very important, other wise you will do what I did. Ha ha ha ha, still, if you were wondering, I fell off with grace and style... 8)
