What is parascending?
Parascending is an aerial sport where participants are towed behind a vehicle (typically a boat or car) while attached to a parachute. Unlike paragliding, it doesn’t require takeoff from a height, making it an accessible way to enjoy the sensation of flight. It combines scenic thrills with the control of ground-based launch systems.
