In April 2021, video of what appeared to be a man riding a hoverboard at night on a street alongside other cars went viral on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube:
This video was genuine and showed a prototype for a hoverboard named the SkySurfer Aircraft. A previous version of this fact check speculated that it showed an Omni Hoverboard, a product responsible for earlier hoverboard demonstrations that have gone viral.
In a statement to Snopes, SkySurfer Aircraft founder and CEO Hunter Kowald claimed they were "the first and only to market" this sort of device, and that "the product is currently available for sale."
Because the video showed a prototype for a real product and was not the result of special effects, claims describing the video as authentic are True.
