If you are traveling to the Outer Banks, North Carolina, for your next vacation, you finally have a chance to mark parasailing off your bucket list. Whether you are planning to take to the skies solo or with friends and family, with Kitty Hawk Watersports, it’s an experience you’ll never forget. Here are a few tips to plan for your parasailing adventure.
I really enjoy parasailing. I’m not just saying that to sell tickets, it’s a really cool activity. I would call it a “once-in-a-lifetime” activity. As in, you should at least experience it once. I’m lucky enough to have done it several times. Full disclosure: I get a little anxiety when flying in an airplane, but being tethered to a boat attached to a parachute over the water is no problem.
As the proud owner of Kitty Hawk Watersports for the last 23 years, I’ve made a lot of good memories out on the water. When working in watersports, you’re destined to meet a few characters. One individual – I’ll call him Ron – has become a successful, small businessman. But when he was a college student mating on a parasail boat, his summer hobby was making moves on high school girls.
Watersports vary in pace, energy, and in the adrenaline rush they evoke. They all have their own special rhythm and type of music that goes perfectly with them. I sometimes hear songs in the wintertime, and they immediately take my mind to a moment in the summer when we were on the water having fun. In reverse, some songs are triggered when I see the activity, such as parasail chutes off in the distance. Finally, other songs start in my brain the second I get into the rhythm of an activity. For example, when I start pulling a water-skier at Kitty Hawk Watersports here in the Outer Banks, I instantly hear the Rolling Stones in my mind.
You likely came to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to enjoy the sand and the sun. You want time on the beach to relax and to play. However, if you want to take your memory-making to the next level, consider parasailing with Kitty Hawk Watersports.
