Wakeboarding behind a remote controlled boat
Say Hello to SOLO
The most amazing personal watercraft on the face of the planet. The perfect solution for no-show drivers. Now you have the destiny to go it alone.
For years, self-service water skiing and wake boarding has been only a dream. The desire for the power and control to be the driver, spotter and skier is now a reality. Solo is your own personal ski machine. Always ready whenever you are.
With little practice, driving the Solo becomes second nature. Easy push buttons in the patented tow handle allow you complete control of the craft simply by moving your thumbs. Every function from turning, acceleration, stopping, horn and kill are quick and intuitive movements.
A redundant safety system is also built right into the handle. Solo immediately stops whenever the skier lets go of the handle, or if the safety lanyard which is connected between the body and handle becomes disconnected.
Looks awesome!
Only thing is, I cant see it being legal on AUS waters. When towing, in Vic at least, its a legal requirement to have a spotter.
No need for a spotter though. The boat finds its way back to the wakeboarder and idles the engine. How sick is that!
I hear you though. The fun police will be all over this one.
Yeh, definately got potential to be awesome, but see it being hard work with river rules
I couldnt see anything about pricings, could you?
Nuh I couldn’t find prices.
