This is stunning. A member of Polycount forums created the Pitbull in 3D. The thread shows not only the model, but materials being added, too. A great piece of reference.

Jarrod Hasenjager's concept for a hoverboard. Heavily based on a Snowboard, but still a great piece of work and reference.

No Tech Done. A pretty cool looking board, when making my own hoverboard, a shape like this, cut out pieces, not just a pill shaped deck, is what I would aim toward.

Airblade was a great PS2 game, putting the player in control of a skateboarder/courier who gets his hands on a prototype hoverboard, but the company who created the board are hot on his tail.
This shot shows the underneath of the board really well.

A close up of the neon edges of the board, which add to it's anti-gravity abilities.
