If you’d like to combine sightseeing with an adventurous activity, Outer Banks parasailing and windsurfing are two watersports that will have your adrenaline racing and you laughing. There are several companies on the beach that specialize in parasailing rides. They can get you the gear you need and on a boat where the captain will have you up in the air, gazing down on the Outer Banks from a bird’s-eye view. Depending on the company you use for your parasailing trip, rides are available for single, double or triple groups. You may prefer to keep your activities closer to sea level, and windsurfing is an excellent watersport to try. Imagine surfing and parasailing join forces to create a sport that will have you cruising over waves as the wind propels you forward. Several of the Outer Banks watersport adventure companies rent windsurfing gear and also provide lessons for participants at all skill levels. Check out the listing below to see where you can try Outer Banks parasailing and windsurfing this summer.
