They show you how to get it off quickly in the event that you go down so that you don't increase your chances of sinking, but if the life preserver is theoretically strong enough to hold a person over 100 pounds, I'm not sure why an 87-pounder with a 10-pound weighted belt would be at a disadvantage.<br /><br />My weight is at 90 now, so several companies are fine with 90-pounder going up solo. When I finish the major reading assignments, papers, and projects for my course work for this quarter, I'm treating myself to another parasailing trip. It should be in about three weeks.<br /><br />Go for it! It's a little scary, but the rush you get is totally worth it. (I sound like a junky trying to talk a former addict into trying heroin again. Pathetic, isn't it?)<br /><br />Thanks for the response!<br /><br />Alexis AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-14789570326188310052013-04-16T08:39:23.734-07:002013-04-16T08:39:23.734-07:00Hello there!

Anyway, that was when I was a kid. I might consider giving it a go again. So, how's your plan to gain weight for parasailing?<br /><a href="http://www.seachase.com/condo-rentals-area-in-gulf-shores.cfm" rel="nofollow">Darius Cartmell</a><br />Darius Cartmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06426030765905312160noreply@blogger.com
