A startling new aqua-thrill. A light-weight hull with a helicopter-type propeller, towed by a powerboat, soars high above the water, letting the proud inventor look down on his water-skiing friends. Establishing shot - Looking down at three speed boats and one of them has a rotary blade like a helicopter. MS - The boat with the rotary blade slowly rises and becomes air born. He is being towed by one of the speed boats and a 100 ft. tow line. LS - Woman water skier waving to the driver of the helicopter boat.
