The water boot makes it possible to advance on the water with the aid of propellers. It draws its energy from a solar panel above the boot (resistant to water) and the hydrolic energy produced when the propeller rotates. A ski is positioned below to ensure a more stable flotation. In addition, a bluetooth watch comes with and lets you know the percentage of energy remaining. This boot is for people who like strong feelings. Material: Boot - rubber, propeller - plastic and metal, ski - plastic, boot interior - thick felt, bonus - electric wire, bluetooth watch, and bluetooth antenna

Little Inventors team says

We love the thrills, and also your great idea really ingenious, Renaud! What I really like is that you've thought about every aspect of your design - how it works, the source of energy, and even the control. And then, what would it be funny to ski on the water! I wonder what other ideas of invention you can have ....
