Enjoy seashore scenery while parasailing in W. Java<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Would you like to take a glance at the seashore
\nfrom a birds-eye view? Then why not try parasailing?<\/p>\n
The offer was made to visitors by Duncan D. Warner, marina
\nmanager of Lippo Carita Resort, a water sports complex at the
\nwestern tip of West Java.<\/p>\n
Parasailing, a relatively new sport in Indonesia, is capturing
\nthe interest of young Indonesians. Looking at its name and the
\nequipment used, some might think of similar \"aero\" sports that
\nIndonesians have known for years, such as parachuting.<\/p>\n
Parasailing uses similar equipment but is different from
\nparachuting in that a motor boat is needed to get the flyer
\nairborne. The boat needs a machine to release and pull a
\n30-meter-long rope that connects the boat and the parachute.<\/p>\n
To parasail one need only come with enthusiasm, since all of
\nthe equipment is provided by the operator. And unlike
\nparachuters, parasailers are not required to have a high level of
\nskill, courage or mental maturity.<\/p>\n
\"Parasailing sets no age limits and needs no certain and
\nspecific courses for people to learn,\" Warner said, adding that
\nthe most important aspect is that they be healthy and have no
\nfear of heights.<\/p>\n
In terms of safety, parasailers needn't worry as everything is
\nhandled by experienced technicians and operators that have been
\ntrained by foreign experts.<\/p>\n
\"Even if you happen to fall down, you will not get hurt
\nbecause you'll fall into the water,\" he said jokingly. \"You might
\nonly be shocked by the time you plunge into the water.\"<\/p>\n
Parasailing can only be found in two places in Indonesia -- at
\nCarita village in Cilegon, West Java, and in Bali. (imn)<\/p>",
