Back in the ‘70s someone was making “puffy” chutes – they looked like Jerry
Seinfeld’s shirt. They didn’t last long.

I'd venture to guess that a regular kite would have worked equally well or
better for your friend. I did a fair bit of research on them, inspected (but
never flew) them, and talked to a lot of experts about the company's claims
about their product. When I was working on an article on downwind sails for the
magazine I asked for one to test but they insisted I fly to them in Tampa (at
my own expense) so they could "train" me on their use. If that's necessary for
someone of my experience then I doubt someone of little experience is going to
have more success than with a regular kite. My assessment of the Parasail is
not exactly uninformed!

Interesting comment, Andy — I’ve got a friend who’s got one up on Lake
Superior, and it’s worked well for him.
