I went to visit my parents in Thailand and spent a weekend at the beach. We decided to rent a boat and go out to Koh Lan, an island close to Pattaya, for the day. On the way we took a quick stop at a floating parasailing station. I climbed up on the platform and was immediately whisked into a harness, attached to a parasail, and one of the guys there said "run," so I ran! I really didn't need to, because the wind picked up very quickly and I went right up into the air. The flight was very quick...no more than 5 minutes...and then they gently dropped me back down on the platform. I was ready to land in the water, but they had this maneuver down to a science.
Check out the video to see what it was like:
