Offers of Parasailing Portugal

2. What should you know before you try parascending?

As the name implies, parascending will take you to new heights at full speed in a unique style. You must be able to discern between spinnaker and parascending, as both involve using the wind's power to ascend the Atlantic Ocean's seas. Parascending, on the other hand, includes ascending, whereas the spinnaker permits the participant to just balance on the front half of the boat. We should also tell you that throughout the session, you will be able to reach a height of 120 to 150 metres! However, it will take some time to build momentum, so you will have time to take in the scenery. This aquatic adventure is usually enjoyed by two to three persons, but sometimes, up to six people can participate simultaneously. As this is a high altitude activity in which speed is a fundamental element, it is not recommended for those who get dizzy or have vertigo at heights.

4. Are there any limitations to this activity?

Even though it is a high-altitude activity that may appear risky at first, it is one of the most enjoyable water sports with minimum risk. However, to ensure maximum safety, participants must be at least 8 years old. This ensures that the subsequent criteria of being at least 1 metre tall are met. Otherwise, unless you have a licence to pilot the boat, you will not need a permit, as this is typically an activity that is contracted with a specialised firm, and you will simply need to carry comfortable clothing and waterproofs, as well as enjoy yourself!
