A Sub-Trope of Cool Board, the main recreational device in the future is the Hover Board. Like an all-terrain skateboard, the hoverboard is totally awesome and likely gained popularity with the movie Back to the Future Part II. Many Speculative Fiction series set 20 minutes or further into the future will have these things fly through the streets. Or even through the air, when it really shouldn't because that's when it stops being hovering and starts being Sky Surfing. The characteristic that differentiates a hoverboard and Sky Surfing is the altitude range each has. A hoverboard generally has to stay within a certain distance of the ground (though jumping and gliding are acceptable) and can't gain altitude. In Sky Surfing, the vehicle can fly in any direction. May be accompanied by hover bikes, scooters, and skates as well. Hoverboards are very, very popular in Video Games. Usually a large part of the gameplay in a futuristic platformer involves riding and acquiring these vehicles, although they're just as likely to be temporary power-ups. Not to be confused with self-balancing scooters, which are also called hoverboards. Those only work on the ground. |

Mechamato: A Mecha-hoverboard can be formed by MechaBot mechanizing with something flat to form the board, and optionally something to form the rockets. In episode 2, Amato combines Pian's skateboard with some hairdryers for the rockets, allowing him to navigate the frozen terrain. In episode 5, Amato uses a mechanized ironing board to traverse a wet hallway. Fittingly, steam comes out the back. In episode 10, Amato uses some wooden planks for the board and some cups to form the rockets, then uses the resulting hoverboard to pursue the fleeing Payapi. |

Mario Party: Island Tour: The minigame Blown Hover has all characters drive hoverboards across a straight-lined racetrack build above the clouds. The speed the hoverboards can reach as they accelerate is high, so the characters have to keep an eye on the obstacles they're approaching, and depending on the case they have to either jump over them or move beneath them (clashing will deplete a big part of the speed, making the character waste a lot of time recovering and making the hoverboard regain speed). Whoever reaches the goal first wins. | |

In Galaxy of Fear, Zak Arranda starts off with a skimboard which partially requires good balance, partially relies on "stick strips". Chewbacca takes a minute to modify it and give it more power, raising its cruising height to two meters. This helps Zak use it to escape with his sister and their droid DV-9. Unfortunately, it was lost at the end of the book, and he wasn't able to get another. | |

One of the Sinthians, slug-like aliens in the Phule's Company series by Robert Asprin, solves his mobility problems by riding a kid's "glideboard". The other main Sinthian character, who is from a higher caste, can't get the hang of the board and declares it undignified. As an obvious homage to Back to the Future (see above), the water makes the boards to move more quickly. | |

Sonic Riders has "Extreme Gear", which is usually these. However, sometimes it's other various things like shoes or brooms. The first Extreme Gear was a flying carpet. The main defining trait of Extreme Gear seems to be that it floats and can go fast enough. One gear in the "board" category is actually called the Hoverboard (well, Hovercraft). It looks like a cloud. | |

The witches of Lapis Re:LiGHTs can fly on magical discs. They're capable of moving at high speeds, floating about 2-3 stories into the air, and can compact when not in use, from the size of half-a-compact car to about the size of a frisbee.

Eureka Seven, where even some of the Humongous Mecha use Hover Boards. Unlike most though, they're more analogous to surfboards than skateboards. Curiously, they do have wheels — just one, though, and the axle runs the same direction as the board itself. They seem to be involved in handling, since Renton mentions that a bigger wheel limits the rider's capacity to make sharp turns. | |

Technically, the wave-rider of One Piece is this. Powered by air dials and thus floats above the water/sea cloud the rider is riding on. | |

Ratchet & Clank and the Jak and Daxter series (where it is called a JET-board) use them. In Jak and Daxter, the hoverboard is used in several Tony Hawk style missions where the player has to get a set number of points. | |

Final Fantasy: Zell uses one in Final Fantasy VIII in a single scene, after which it's confiscated. Later however, when you're allowed into his room, one of the characters comments that he has another to which he replies he's got several. Appears both in Final Fantasy XII, sort of (more like a hover-motorbike), and weaponized in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. |

Warhammer uses demonic hoverboards called disks of Tzeentch. These days they are more like sky surfing as they actually fly, but they once had a lower flying speed and it was called floating or hovering. And in the MMORPG based on Warhammer, they follow this trope to a T. | |

Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure: A few levels in the first and third episodes have each a high-tech scooter with luminous green lights that allow the eponymous alien to freely travel in the air (it helps that the scooters work entirely with anti-gravity). They're absent in the second episode, however. | |

Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series features these quite prominently. Uglies play around with them recreationally — they really can't hurt themselves because the boards are magnetic and adhere to the magnetic grid underneath the city, and they wear a device to track their center of gravity and special "crash bracelets" that will pull them back onto the board if they fall off. Interestingly, the center-of-gravity device clips onto their belly-button rings, a fact that the characters all seem to take for granted. Apparently belly-button piercings are mandatory for young people in the utopian/dystopian future. Pretties generally can't ride hoverboards due to their reduced reflexes caused by the brain lesions that come with the operation. Zane and Tally, however, are able to ride hoverboards as pretties when they consciously try to "stay bubbly" and fight the influence of the lesions. When Tally is sent to perform her undercover mission in Uglies she is given a special hoverboard that has lifter fans that enable it to function away from magnetic substances for a period of time and solar cells to provide power for the fans. This type of hoverboard is later used by the Cutters when they turn into Specials. In Extras hoverboarding is again presented as a recreational activity. It's actually the extreme hoverboard-riding known as "mag-lev surfing" (in which participants use their hoverboards' magnetic properties to surf atop a mag-lev train outside the city) practiced by the clique known as the Sly Girls that attracts Aya to them and gets the plot rolling. |
