Humans are always fascinated in the feeling of floating in the air. This is the reason why various gadgets are invented to make the same effect. Airplanes for instance are created not just to get the feeling of flying; but also to move great distances at a very short time. Without it, people cannot go to the said distances without consuming much time and energy. Some games and sports are also created to render that kind of euphoria. One of which is arachuting or skydiving. It is actually breathtaking seeing the sky in your surroundings and getting the feeling of falling freely with just gravity pulling you down. Another similar activity like parachuting is paragliding, wherein one sits on a harness with fabric wing bound to it.

Sky surfing on the other hand is like skydiving with a board strap on the legs, much like snowboarding and performing aerobatics on freefall. There are also some recreational activities that one can do over the water; and one is parasailing. A boat will tow a person with parachute and then release the parachute while still on the boat.
