How Does Parasailing Work?

Parasailing involves a boat, a parasail and a towline. Once the towline is attached, the boat speeds up so that the canopy of the parasail opens up. This catches air so that you are picked up off of the water. The first parasail was created in 1962 by Pierre-Marcel Lemoigne. Later in the year, he set up the Aeronautical Training Center to begin training parachutists in his new technique. At the time, parasails were used as a cheaper alternative to parachute training. Parachutists would reach full height before the parasail was released. Afterward, the individual would try to navigate to their landing zone.

Before long, new parasails and improved launching vessels were created. The 1976 Waterbird design improved the porosity of the fabric and created a towline that made it safer to use parasails. Over the years, the designs have continuously improved for the best safety and rides possible.

 

Exploring Oahu’s South Shore

As you swoop across the skyline, you can check out the world’s most recognizable crater. Diamond Head is an iconic part of Waikiki and just a part of what you will see on your tour. Known as Laeahi in ancient Hawaiian., it was renamed in the 1800s when British sailors mistakenly believed that diamonds were placed under the soil on the crater. Later on, the diamonds were discovered to be calcite crystals, but the name for the crater stuck.

Whether you want to sail across the skyline solo or enjoy for a jetski and parasailing combo with your partner, Oahu’s South Shore is the best place to do so. Enjoy phenomenal views of the island as you fly above the waves. Experience the adventure of a lifetime with Oahu’s X-treme parasailing trips.
