Water-related tragedies can happen in the blink of an eye. Playing it safe will help you return safely to shore.
Want to try windsurfing, parasailing or another water sport? Safety still rules.
- Choose activities you're confident you can handle.
- Rent equipment from a reputable dealer.
- Examine the equipment for signs of wear and tear.
- Take lessons from an experienced instructor.
- Follow local rules and regulations.
(And I'll tell you this: if you're thinking about riding on one of those inner tube deals towed behind a speed boat, I just do not want to know about it. It's the dumbest thing I ever did.)
