All Hoverboard Locations in Fortnite

There are several spots where you can find a Hoverboard on the current Fortnite OG map. However, these do seem to spawn randomly - so if you check a place (such as Lucky Landing) and it isn't there in one match, it doesn't mean it won't spawn there in the next one.

How to use Hoverboards in Fortnite

Once you get your hands on a Hoverboard in Fortnite OG, your next task is to know how to use it and how to pull tricks with it!

When you find a Hoverboard, walk over to it and press the prompted command to climb on it (on Xbox this was 'X'). Once you're on your Hoverboard, you will need to press and hold the same command to get off it again.

The board cannot float sideways nor can it go backwards. Wherever the front of your board is facing is the direction you will go in. You need to use your directional command to control the direction the board travels in.

You should also see command prompts appear on the left side of your screen displaying the basic controls for the Hoverboard:

To pull tricks with your Hoverboard you need to get enough air by using your jump command and using your directional control to flip or rotate the board. We recommend going to really high cliffs and using your Boost command to gain speed before using the jump command to launch yourself off the edge.

Then, while in the air, pull as many tricks as you can before landing on the ground. The more complicated the trick, or the more tricks you pull, the higher your score will be.

It's important to know that you must land the trick to get the points for it. If you don't land properly, crash into an object, or land anywhere that isn't upright, you will fail the trick and lose the points you've gathered.
