parasail
Boat-towed canopy
A parasail is a parachute-like canopy towed behind a boat, lifting the rider into the air.
The activity combines elements of parachuting and sailing—you're harnessed to the chute while a speedboat pulls you aloft over water.
To parasail is to ride one: We parasailed over the bay on vacation.
Also called parasailing.
