Let's just say I don't care about living that much and wanna get into this shit. How does one even learn this? Start parasailing in the summer? Just strap on the canopy on my text bc trip and just send it?

Who here has done this?

I've a friend who did it.

He got inspired after a late season deal on a tourist style tandem paraskiing flight at a resort in the Alps. He then learnt to parasail over the summer at a parasailing club (I think got a license/certification of some sort)
Then after another couple of winter tandems/guided flights, started paraskiing with his own canopy.

It was Europe though, so I don't know what the route is for other places. There's probably less legit/expensive ways to get into it but that was the route he took.


Looks fucking rad though, you should try, or at least see about a tourist tandem flight.

Work your way up. Start with a lite setup by first jumping off a building with a garbage bag

Paraskiing is completely safe and beginner friendly, it cannot hurt you. Just strap in and go for it
