The Ultimate Guide to Parasailing in Dubai Harbour for Thrill Seekers

Water sports in Dubai are an extremely popular way to enjoy excitement for all visitors of the city. The top water sport activity that you cannot miss is a parasailing adventure in Dubai. You will be lifted off of a speedboat and into the sky up to 200 meters high over the water! You have the chance to view the world’s famous landmarks and the coastline from a new and different point of view.
This is a family and couples activity that is simple. You’ll find it to be an easy activity with no skills or training needed before doing it. In addition to all the fun you have while parasailing, the activity also gives you a unique view of the beach area and the attractions on the beach. The first person in the world to design and create a parasail was Pierre Lemoigne, back in the mid-1950s in France.

What To Expect During Your High-Flying Journey

When you go parasailing (also called parakiting), you get to experience flying by either being lifted off the ground or being towed along behind a boat while attached to a specially designed parachute-like wing. You are harnessed into this wing with an incredibly strong harness, which is fastened to a high-powered boat running at speeds that allow the wind to carry you up into the air for a floating/smooth glide along the water.
You can float through the air, experiencing the peacefulness of flying in the sky with nothing but air below or looking down at the beautiful blue ocean or lake. It is simply a relaxing way for you to feel like you are floating through the sky as if you were a bird with no effort whatsoever. Newer parasailing boats have been designed with special winches that allow them to launch and retrieve their customers directly from the deck.

The Interesting History Of This Aerial Sport

Surfing Popularity—Surfing is currently one of the most popular sports worldwide, but it didn’t always have such a large following. The sport started in the 1960s. The original purpose of surfing was to give parachutist training for landing on the ocean after jumping from an airplane. The astronauts and soldiers used surfboards to train for survival after they’d floated back down into the sea after their flights. Over time surfing grew so many fans across the world and now has become a very popular sport for many people.
To protect the safety of all surfers, there are now very strict safety laws and high-quality equipment available to keep each surfer safe during their ride. Be sure to find quality professional teams to provide you with a safe and enjoyable experience. Depending on the limitations of your weight, you can surf either alone or share the experience with up to two friends.

Stunning Views From Dubai Harbour Marina

Your trip begins at the Dubai Harbour Marina with a short boat ride to the flight zone. Once you are in the air, you will see iconic sights like the Palm Jumeirah and the massive Ain Dubai wheel. You can also spot the luxury hotels along the JBR coastline and the busy Dubai Marina district. Many people choose to hire a professional photographer with a camera to record the entire experience. It is even possible to celebrate birthdays in the sky with colorful decorations on the boat and the parachute. Most flights take you to a height that is nearly as tall as some of the skyscrapers in the city center. You may even catch a glimpse of the distant Burj Al Arab shimmering on the horizon during a clear day.
