parasailer
Chute-riding beachgoer
A parasailer is someone who engages in parasailing—being towed behind a boat while attached to a parachute-like canopy, lifted by the wind to glide above the water.
The term describes both recreational participants and those who do it professionally: The parasailer dangled high above the bay.
