Hawaii Parasailing
On a beautiful Saturday morning in Hawaii Nei, Yvonne and Julie decided to spontaneously embark on a Parasail ride...something the girls always see tourists doing off in the south shore horizon. It was a really windy day (so please excuse the shaky camera)! Overall, they had a blast! They were also happy it was only an hour long boat ride in the big swells...they started to feel queezy near the end!

Maui, Parasailing - Tom Barefoot
Visit for more information. Parasailing in Maui - Parasail and jet ski season on Maui runs from May 15th to Dec. 15th. The whales come during the winter months so we dont want the fast moving parasail boats and jet skis to interfere in any way with the whale communities yearly visits to Maui. Parasailing has been a staple activity on Maui for over 25 years, but I was interested recently to learn a bit about how the sport of parasailing started. It seems that in the early 60s, a parachute instructor named Piere Lamoigne (Lam mone) devised a less expensive way to teach the sport of parachuting by devising a way of raising a parachute by pulling it behind a car. They would raise them to a certain height and then cut them free. This was then called Parascending. In mid 1961 the Pioneer Parachute Company started making these special chutes under the protected name Parasail. In the early 70s an entrepreneur named Mark McCulloh decided to move the new invention from the back of a car to the back of a boat and parasailing as we know it was born. The first parasail companies actually took clients off the beach and landed them back on the beach after the ride. The landing part often had a lot to do with the wind at the time of landing and the expertise of the boat handler to maneuver the parasail back to shore. The next generation of companies, which were the kind that were first used here on Maui were launched from a stationary platform on the ocean. The parasailee was asked to brace himself on the platform until the line was taunt and then resist the pull of the lift boat until he began to be pulled and then make a jump for the sky. This worked, mostly, except for the occasional person being drug on his knees along the Astroturf platform or being simply popped off the platform and into the water. This unfortunately was my first experience with the sport of parasailing. The return trip was even more exciting as the boat captain attempted to land you back on the platform with crew members scampering to catch you as you came down. Nowadays things are much better. The lift boats simply have the launch platform attached to the back of the boat and you are gently wenched up into the sky and of course reeled right back into the boat again at rides end. If you havent tried it, give it a whirl, it really is a lot of fun.
