Parasailing

Experience the high-flying thrill, panoramic veiws and pure excitement of parasailing above the shore-line. The one thing you will notice while you’re many feet in the air, in your parasail harness, is the sheer peace and quiet while you float. Many Jersey Shore towns offer parasailing: Belmar, Point Pleasant, LBI, Wildwood, Cape May

Sky Diving

What does skydiving feel like? For 45 to 60 seconds there is nothing but you and the air. Flying your body in the sky is a rush. Flying and landing a parachute is supposedly a lot of fun too. Some actually find relaxation in the free fall. Let an experienced tandem instructors take you for the rush of a lifetime with confidence. Skydive Jersey Shore at Monmouth Airport Farmingdale NJ. Skydive Long Island in Calverton, NY. Skydive the Ranch in Gardiner, NY.

Kite Surfing

These days you see more and more kite surfers gliding around the beaches and bays of NY and NJ. Kitesurfing is a mixture of paragliding, wakeboarding, surfing and windsurfing. Essentially, you’re buckled into a harness that is attached to a parachute-like sail and your feet are strapped to a surfboard. I’m told you need pretty good upper body strength to pull yourself up and control the kite, while negotiating where you are going with your feet.
