Another thrilling water sport of Goa, Para sailing is also known as Para Ascending. Only a speedboat and a parachute is required in it. Parachutes are tied to the speedboats and a 300 feet long rope is attached to speed boat at one end and para sail harness at the other. With the speedboat gaining the momentum, Para Sailor is hauled up in the air and it has little or no control over the parachute. The speed is controlled by tow-vehicles. The person flying the para sail controls its sideways. You can enjoy the view of clear blue-sky and captivating water body below.
