I did watch one video, and I didn't see anything about it coming back to you by remote control after a fall, but I could have left the video early too, (I don't remember now), cause I'm not really all that interested in these things. Cool little gadget, but not my cup of tea. I was just joking (obviously) about the Navy Seal. Have you no sense of humor???

It's the 150-hp, $17000 model that says it has a return to fallen skier feature, and the 70-hp model with the unknown price that's shown in the Gadget Show-world tour from seven years ago has a kill switch lanyard but no self return.

Makes you a better skier/boarder knowing you will be swimming maybe 50-yards return to tow line, every time you fall. Is a very big lake when you is swimming out there, all alone, wearing a pfd. One could actually wear both a pfd and a noodle belt, both at same time, and remove the pfd for better swimming with noodle belt after falling, and still be legal .... a genius solution!

You probably get better exercise out of the coincidental swimming than with the intended skiing/boarding.

Is possible to swim 100-yards with hands bound, and with feet bound by swimming like a hippopotamus.

Question: will Allstate, Geico, or Progressive sell liability coverage for the 70-hp Solo Ski that is very similar or same price as their standard jet ski-pwc policy? I doubt it?

Just got this press info about a Ski Bob. Looks cool! So....., what's the opinion on a spotter requirement for this device?

.... http://www.citimarinestore.com/citig...bob-price-list ...... just do it ..... Winnipesaukee needs a Sea Bob in every cove and every bay!

And, for $309 you can get a very high quality drysuit from www.mythicdrysuits.com in Maine and go Sea Bobbing from now till Christmas!

Performs on the water surface or way down deep, under the water with a scuba tank ..... so, What About Bob?

Looks like fun and more my skill level than the personal ski machine. No spotter required, but you need a Diver Down flag if you go underwater, I guess. I think they said they were on Martha's Vineyard. Is 14 mph enough to outrun a shark?
