Parasailing

Aerial manned-kite sport

Parasailing, also known as parascending, is a water sport that involves a parafoil or modified parachute being towed behind a moving vehicle (usually a powerboat), so that the angle of attack at which the apparent wind flowing against the canopy will generate lift and carry passengers into the air. Commercial parasailing enterprises operate worldwide, and include customized powerboats that can seat numerous observers and up to three airborne parasailors at a time, wearing body harnasses and/or seated in a Customized Gondola. Parasailing is primarily practiced as a recreational activity, and is distinct from similar sports such as paragliding, paraskiing, or parakiting, which typically operated in different environments like open fields and mountain ranges.
