"There’s one small catch, though – it will only hover on special surfaces..."

Still I think it's a cool concept and looking forward to where it goes from here.

Finally! From what I see I believe its a technic similar to the one that is used for train magnetic rail roads. Nevertheless pretty awesome and another step has been made. Just imagine what will be possible in future?! Imagine this "hover" effect in cars.
Anyway, the white box on kickstarter might be ikteresting for us to display the hoverboard...

No way they are going to lay metal surfaces under everything just to accommodate Hoverboarders. They are still entirely within the realm of science fiction.

I'm very excited about this news. It's only a matter of time before we get a time-traveling DeLorean. Hey, 26-year-old me, buy Google stock! But as much of it as you can!
