Para Sailing

Know the weather forecast Your parasailing guide should already know the forecasted weather conditions for the day, but you can check out the weather yourself on your smartphone or a local TV station, etc. If storms are in the area, don't even think about going! Ideally you want a nice day with a constant breeze.

Check out the quality of the equipment In parasailing, the safety of your ride hinges on good quality equipment. But, it doesn't hurt to check out your harness and rope for any signs of fraying or wear. If you see something that looks weird to you, say something to your guide. And, if you do notice the gear looks worn out, you should probably go with another parasailing company.


Make sure you discuss how to communicate with your guide Once you're way up in the air, communicating with your captain or crew can be difficult, but they should tell you everything you need to know before they send you up. Make sure your guide teaches you hand signals, so that you can communicate with the boat if you need to. Again, any good company such as Ocean City Parasail will make sure you are informed before they fly you! There you go. You now know the basics! Just remember, communication is key. Don't be shy to raise any concerns or ask your guide questions. They are there to ease your worries and make sure you have a safe and amazing time. Ask for wind direction and wind speed. Now go have fun!
