FAQ
How does the sport of parasailing differ from parachuting?
Para-gliding involves flying above the ground using a harness attached to a small sail. The harness allows you to fly. It keeps you safe when you're falling through the air.
Flying requires no special equipment. You simply attach yourself to the sail. Then you take off. As you gain altitude, the wind pushes against the sail. This causes it to lift you.
As you glide along the ground, you keep moving forward. Your momentum carries you forward until you reach the end of the cable. You release your grip at that point and return to the earth.
You can reattach the sail when you are ready to begin again.
The sport of parasailing is growing very fast. 2013 saw more than 1,000,000 people partake in parasailing. That's almost double the number who did so in 2008.

How To
Can I learn to windsurf myself?
Yes, you can!
Windsurfing can be learned at any age, from any place in the world. This can be accomplished in several ways: online courses, classes or joining a club. Windsurfing Schools UK allows you to search for courses in your area.
You must ensure that your body can handle windsurfing. You should be able to do basic movements such running, jumping and climbing stairs without pain. If you're overweight, you'll probably feel sore after a few hours of windsurfing. Once you have decided whether you are physically ready, you can choose which type or windsurfing equipment that you would like to use. Some people prefer to learn to windsurf on a traditional sailboard while others prefer to use a sailboard. It depends on where you practice.
After you've decided on the type of windsurfing gear that you prefer, you can start to practice your new sport. Start off slowly by going upwind on flat water, and work your way towards waves. Strong winds are best avoided as they can tear apart your sails. Once you are comfortable sailing on flat water you can start to move onto choppy waters. If something does go wrong, it is important to be prepared before you begin windsurfing on rough waters.
