Para Sailing

Parasailing is a popular sport (land and water) which you are attached to a specially designed parachute, known as a parasail. The rider is set aloft in the air as the boat or vehicle drives forward at a speed sufficient to carrying the parascender into the air.

The Parasail is attached to a long towrope, which is pulled along, by either a boat or vehicle. Parasailing is also known as parascending. Once the parascender is aloft he or she has little or no control over the parachute and can just sit back and enjoy the flight.
