My husband had done such an arrangement with his parasailing school.Nathalie H.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16806509041466785588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740227464249118134.post-16028393908027186792016-08-17T01:59:20.603-05:002016-08-17T01:59:20.603-05:00OK so this was disappointing to you but that's...OK so this was disappointing to you but that's how you learn the job. Before the instructor lets you fly on your own, you spend days doing exactly that: unpacking your bag, making sure your lines aren't tangled up, spreading the sail right, face to the wind, and then tugging hard to get it up, and then running down a hill with the sail above you, trying to understand the effect of your actions when you pull one handle or the other. My husband did this for days on end before he was allowed alone in the sky. Exhausting. You can do that with your kids too, it's a great way to give them some pretty cool sensations. You just keep a line on the whole thing and you fly your kids like you'd fly a kite!<br /><br />As for this guy I'm not sure what his objective was. Perhaps he'd just bought the wing and wanted to put it up?Nathalie H.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16806509041466785588noreply@blogger.com
