The Solo Personal Ski Machine. Tsk. Naughty old sociopathic loner water-skiers. Now they’re putting innocent little speedboat drivers out of work. Shame on you, whatever next? Cool idea though, innit?

‘All functions are electronically controlled by thumb positioning on the patented tow handle…The kill switch is built right into the handle. When you drop the handle, the engine shuts down fast and brings your SOLO to a quick stop. An automatic “downed-skier” flag pops up when the skier falls and quickly retracts when the engine is re-started…So go ahead and leave the others on the beach..’
