FAQ
What makes parasailing different to parachuting?
Para-gliding allows you to fly above the ground with a harness attached by a small sail. The harness lets you fly. It will keep you safe when you are falling through the sky.
Flying is easy with no equipment. Attach yourself to the sail. Next, take off. The wind pulls the sail against you as you climb in altitude. This helps to lift your spirits.
As you glide along the ground, you keep moving forward. Your momentum will propel you forward until the cable ends. You then release your grip to fall back to the ground.
You can reattach the sail when you are ready to begin again.
Parasailing has been growing rapidly. 2013 saw more than 1,000,000 people partake in parasailing. That's almost double the number who did so in 2008.

How can I get started snowboarding?
This section will explain how to begin snowboarding. Everything you need to know about snowboarding, including where to find it, what equipment to buy and how to use it.
Let's begin with the basics.
"Snowboard", a board that you attach to your feet, used for skiing down hills. It usually has two edges (front & back) which make up the board's shape. To help control speed, the front edge is usually wider than its back.
Skier - A person who uses a ski/snowboard to ride down hills. Skiers wear boots, pants and helmets. Skiers wear helmets to protect their heads in the event of a fall.
Skiing - A sport that involves riding down hills on skis. This can be done on natural terrains such mountains or man-made, like ski resorts. Skiing requires special equipment. This includes skis, poles. bindings. boots. jackets. gloves. hats. sunglasses. socks.
"Riding down hills" - Before you can ride downhill, it is important to learn how to prevent yourself from falling. Push your legs into the ground by pulling your rear leg forward, and pushing down with your legs. Keep going until you reach your desired speed. You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you reach your speed goal, you can relax and let your legs connect. When you want to slow down, you just repeat the process.
After you have learned how to keep yourself from falling to the ground, it is time to determine how fast you want. There are several ways to measure speed. Some prefer to measure speed by counting laps around a mountain while others prefer to measure the distance between turns. If you want to control your speed, measure it by timing yourself and counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
After you have learned how to slow down and speed up, it is now time to learn the tricks of turning. To turn, you just need to lean your body towards the direction you want. If you lean too far, you'll crash into the ground. Lean too little, and you won't be able to turn. Once you're able to turn correctly, you can start learning tricks. Tricks are fancy moves performed on the slopes that require precise timing and balance. They can include spins, flips, and cartwheels.
There are many types of tricks. Some tricks include jumping over obstacles while others involve flipping objects over and spinning around obstacles. Each trick has its own set requirements. To jump over a thing, you might need to spin 180° midair, before landing on the other end.
There are also different kinds of tricks. Some tricks are precise and accurate, while others require strength and agility. Other tricks require finesse and precision.
Tricks aren't easy to master. But once you've learned them, you can perform them anywhere, anytime. Although skiing is often considered an adult sport, children love the slopes. It's amazing to watch kids slide down hills, jump over obstacles, and perform some impressive tricks.
