From time to time someone comes up with genious ideas and even more often someone comes up with a crazy but maybe not that genious idea. Then again some times someone realize these ideas. If the man behind this idea didnt have any friends or if he just wanted to be able to ride all time himselves, I dont know and I will also let it be up to you to decide if its a useless or a genious idea?

Say Hello to Boto.
The most amazing 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. Boto is your own personal ski machine, always ready whenever you are.
   
Easy Controls.
With a little practice, driving the Boto becomes second nature. Easy push buttons in the customised 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. Boto 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.
   
Smiles Guaranteed.
