DIY Hoverboard, is it possible?

Hello, I am interested in building my own hoverboard. I am very technical Software Engineer with experience in Technical Computing. I have already made my own quadcopter which flies between 10 and 20 minutes (depending on how fast I go). 

Today I saw this video of this guy breaking the world record on his hoverboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfa9HrieUyQ and i was very interested in building my own with a little different design. So first of all, how is this guy doing this? What setup do you guys think he has?

Second, I want two propellers one in the front and one in the back (if possible, otherwise 4, 6 or 8 can do) and I want my hoverboard to be the size of that one in the video or even smaller. I want it to have the design of a longboard / skateboard so that I can go sideways. So let's say, I want to fly for a minute or 5, what motors do I need and what batterypack do I need? I weigh around 75kg. And what could the cost be of this? I imagine that guy haven't spend millions on his hoverboard?  

I'll be doing more research on this, but guidance to the right path is very appreciated. Thank you all very much.
