PARASAILING
1 Round The parasailor is strapped into a harness which is attached to the parasail canopy and connected to the speed boat via a rope.
Basic steering instructions for landings are given before takeoff.
Once the parasailor is ready, the beach crew signals the boat driver to power up and tighten the tow rope inflating the parasail canopy.
The parasailor is then instructed to step, walk or run forward towards the boat/line.
The boat speeds up sending the parasailor skyward. Once aloft, altitude is controlled by boat speed. Initially the boat travels into the wind the boat speed is constantly adjusted to maintain the desired height. The driver reduces speed hence allowing the parasail to descend. The parasailor is signaled to steer the canopy right or left which is achieved by pulling on the right or left rear risers, the boat slows until the parasailor has landed.
GLASS BOTTOM BOAT
A glass bottom boat is a boat with sections of glass, or other suitable transparent material, below the waterline allowing passengers to observe the underwater environment from within the boat. The view through the glass bottom is better than simply looking into the water from above, because one does not have to look through optically erratic surface disturbances.
The effect is similar to that achieved by a diving mask, while the passengers are able to stay dry, out of the water.
WATERSKI
Waterskiing is a sport in which an individual (or more than one individual) is pulled behind a motor boat on a body of water. The skier is either wearing one (“slalom”) or two (“double”) skis. The surface area of the ski (skis) keeps the person skimming on the surface of the water allowing the skier to stand upright while holding onto a tow rope.
BANANA BOAT
Banana boat is an inflatable recreational boat meant for towing by speed boat. Different models usually accommodate three to ten rides sitting on a larger, main tube & resting their feet on two laterally flanking tubes which stabilize the boat. During the ride, the driver of the powered boat attempts to flip the banana boat upside – down by doing sharp turns for fun. Riders should always wear life jacket for safety reasons.
