These guys sell hoverboard plans you can do-it-yourself to lift 200lb person 1inch off the ground, even in snow!

(if you work for futurehorizons, plz send me a plan, i wanna build one… :) )

The hoverboard uses high performance hovercraft technology to lift a 200+lb rider 1 inch above the ground. A 6 horsepower 4-stroke gasoline engine spins a multi bladed propeller to force air under the craft. The plans are easy to follow and a working Hoverboard can usually be built for under $500 including the engine.
