A [[skateboard]] or [[surfboard]]-like sci-fi or fantasy device that utilizes some means of levitation to allow it to either fly or hover above the ground.   Hover boards were first described by author M. K. Joseph in a 1967 science fiction novel, and popularized by the [[Back to the Future]] film franchise.

Should not be confused with [[self-balancing scooter]]s, which some companies have taken the term hoverboard to refer to their products.
