How to Dress for Parasailing
Parasailing over the ocean or a lake is one of the most beautiful sights you'll ever get. You get an extraordinary view, from dolphins gliding through the water to unmatched cityscapes, it's incredible. You're basically hooked into a harness which is attached to a parachute. There's a tow rope hitched to a boat or jeep. When it takes off and gains speed, the wind pulls you into the air.

Prepare to get wet if the parasailing guide dips you in the water. It's supposed to be a toe-dip, but you really never know how wet you'll get. In this case, you won't want to end up looking like you're in a wet tee shirt contest. Consider wearing a darker colored shirt for this reason.
