On second attempt, hoverboard inventor successfully crosses Channel

Following a failed attempt in July, French inventor Franky Zapata successfully crossed the Channel on top of a hoverboard this weekend. Starting his trek in Sangatte in northern France, the journey took 20 minutes, before landing in St. Margaret’s Bay, England.

“For the last five to six kilometers I just really enjoyed it,” Zapata told Reuters and other reporters, on landing near Dover. “Whether this is a historic event or not, I’m not the one to decide that, time will tell.”
