Hunter Kowald is a name that you might not know but will probably hear about very soon, thanks to his giant drone-like vehicle, The SkySurfer. The young engineer grew up with a dream that many share, yet ultimately dismiss as impossible: flying through the air freely as if in some futuristic movie or video game.
But as evidenced by his many viral social media videos, of a helmeted man soaring over New York City or Venice Beach on a real-life hoverboard, Kowald has made that dream a reality. Below, Kowald shares what it was like to design, develop and eventually fly his ground-breaking personal aircraft.
