Default The Frenchman Hoverboard got across the Sea this morning.
He set of around 8AM our time,
Only SkyNewsHD covered it .

He Ditched in the Sea
unable to find the ship.
He needed to change his fuel.


They just reported it failed, sadly

[Franky Zapata, 40, took off from near Calais to St Margaret's Bay near Dover
He carried about 42 litres of kerosene in his backpack but will need to stop midway on a ship
to refuel his 'Flyboard']
