In parasailing, basically, a person is harnessed to a chute, which functions like wings. Being a popular outdoor sport, it can be enjoyed either on land or water. On land, a jeep is being used to tow you airborne, while on water, a motorboat. The experience goes like this: In parasailing, basically, a person is harnessed beneath a parachhute-like contraption, which functions like wings. Being a popular outdoor sport, it can be enjoyed either on land or water. The experience goes like this: You sit in a swing seat at the end of a parachute, called as a parasail. It’s attached by a winch and rope to a specially designed motorised vehicle (a speed boat over water and a jeep over land) to get you airborne. With the help of the launch crew the vehicle idles out into the wind until the towline is taut and completely extended. The vehicle then reels you out to an altitude of 200 to 300 feet. The actual flight takes 8 to 15 minutes and the altitude is controlled by the vehicle’s speed.

Parasailing began in the 1960's when Piere Lamoigne attached already existing parachute to a car. In those days, it was a cheaper way to teach parachuters. They would raise them at a certain height and then, let them free. The method was called parascending. Today, parasailing is a safe recreational sport. The sheer thrill and excitement of being airborne has made parasailing a popular family sport. It is definitely the kind of activity that your family could all enjoy. It’s grand. It’s fun. Nothing beats the feeling as you try to soar in the sky like a kite hundreds of feet above the ground and take a good view of the world in air.
