  • This is the introduction to a series of videos that describes our techniques to parasail from small consumer boats. we did this successfully from 18 foot boats with a 135 horse power engine but usually do it from. my inboard that's 21 feet and has about a 280 horse power engine. In all cases, a wake tower is needed.

    Hi Alan.
    I have a boat and I want to give parasailing a go. Is there any way that I can make contact with you apart from RUclips such as on WhatsApp because I live in South Africa.

    I bought a parasail 15 years ago never have a chance to fly it. I have a 24’ campion Allante 705 it not equips with wakeboard tower any suggestions how to launch it from a boat?? Can you make a video show the detail setup on your boat..

      Have you watched the rest of the series? I thought I did a fairly detailed description.
      I thought how others can do this without a wake tower but never figured it out. For the inflation, you might be able to use the frame of a bimini top but you'll still need a strong tube mounted strong near the center of the boat (sounds like a wake tower).
      Provided you're confident your prop is shrouded enough by your swim platform, add a wake tower to your boat and you have a platform for parasailing.

      @@alankwiatkowski3191 I didn’t have a chance last weekend but I did try yesterday afternoon twice not successful. First try I release the sail to early and it end up in the water. Second try the sail was wet and the boat speed not fast enough same result. But for what I see from the first try definitely it will deploy just need a bit more practice.. thank you for all your video I hope my 17 year of dream fly this thing of my boat come true. I going to build a better launching pole instead of my flimsy Bimini frame. Next time I make some video hope I can share with everyone my journey flying this thing..

      @@adamvu119 It does take practice (a little luck helps too). I would love to see videos of your attempts and successes! What are you using for the rope break? Can you send me pictures or videos of your setup?
