Parasailing is considered as one of the easiest of water
adventures. All it takes is on site training and briefing, you get on
board the speed boat, get strapped into the harness and just sit and
enjoy the view as the combination of speed and wind slowly lifts you up.
This may sound too simple for something that is rapidly gaining
popularity as a thrilling sport. But, did I mention that the height
involved is between 30 to 100 metres above the water's surface? Now that
is where the kick of it comes in!
Here's what you can expect from this sport that gives a 100% percent fun experience.
• Training and safety
A thorough briefing on parasailing and safety measures is done on site before the launch. A group of professionals will get you familiarized with parasailing basics, such as launch positions and airborne safety precautions.
• No age limit and required skill set
Parasailing can be enjoyed by almost anyone! There are no skills required prior to taking part of the activity but in any water adventure, knowing how to swim proves to be most advantageous.
• Unknown fears surface
The speed and heights involved in parasailing can make you discover some fears that you never knew you had. What better way to conquer them then? With a group of trained parasailing professionals with you every step of the way, parasailing can start off with a lot of apprehension and turn into a most thrilling achievement.
• It's HOT!
A parasailing scene consists of lots of water, sun and air. Once you are up at 500feet, it gets even hotter, best to be prepared. Sun block and windburn protection must be applied prior to your launch. Likewise, it is also handy to have a waterproof video camera with you to capture the most wonderful scenery you'll ever feast your eyes on.
• Strong winds
Once you are airborne, expect strong winds that can easily toss light things that you may have with you, such as sunglasses, and other light accessories. It's best to leave all these on the boat or in your hotel room before going parasailing.
• A little tenderness
Apart from being harnessed and towed by the boat using a line, a parachute is also attached to your upper body. Once in the air you will feel a slight backward tug on both shoulders as the parachute comes in contact with strong wind. This can cause slight soreness in the shoulder and armpit area.
• Salt Sprays
On ascent, you may experience some strong salt sprays as a result of wind hitting seawater. A good pair of snugly fit goggles will help from the sprays stinging your eyes, as well as protect it from small particles entering your eyes.
• Defy Gravity
Parasailing gives you the feeling of being weightless as you slowly levitate off the boat's platform. With the right combination of speed and wind, parasailing gives you the most exciting feeling as you take flight, soaring over the middle of the ocean, soaking in more magnificent views as you go higher and higher.
• A liberating experience
Parasailing gives you a feeling of total release from the busy and noisy world down below as you soar to what seems to be an entirely different one. Imagine rising high above the ocean, and seeing the world through a bird's eye view.
