parasailed

Flew behind boat

Parasailed is the past tense of parasail—to glide through the air while harnessed to a parachute-like canopy and towed by a boat or vehicle.

The activity is a popular beach resort attraction: We parasailed over the bay and could see dolphins below.

She had never parasailed before that trip to Mexico.
