Ocean Watersports is located right on the beach at 3rd Ave South. You’ll know you found them when you see the flags, which let you know you can parasail, jet ski, or ride a banana boat.
I love this picture because I know it’s at this point that we all started singing one of LC’s favorite songs from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. As we started to fly, Little Crafter shouted, “Pixie Dust away!,” which is what the pirates say on the show when they take to the air.
Fortunately, we had the perfect day for parasailing; it was gorgeous and sunny and although it was in the upper 80’s, the breeze as we flew kept us very comfortable. We went in one direction for a nice long time, then turned around and went back the other way, past Ocean Watersports in the other direction. Finally, we turned one last time and headed back.
Captain Wyatt had told us we’d be in the air for about ten minutes, and it felt like a nice long time. I could have done it all day. One of the neatest things was looking down into the ocean and seeing a few sting rays swimming near the surface.
As our ride came to an end, they lowered us down and dipped us in the ocean, which got us nice and wet from the waist down.
I instinctively pulled up my feet…I didn’t want any sharks nibbling on my toes!

Oh my goodness this looks like such fun. I’ve always been too much of a wimp to try it. I’ve worried about horrible crashes. You make it sound so peaceful and relaxing, so maybe I should give it a try! 🙂

Wow, that’s awesome. I would LOVE to do that. My husband though is afraid of heights. There’s no way I could talk him into it. ha!! Looks like a ton of fun!!!

How fun that you were able to all go up together! Hubby & I went parasailing while on a cruise, but the air was too still that day and we were unable to parasail together- I was disappointed, but it was still so much fun. Would love to do it again, and will have to remember this next time we’re in Myrtle Beach. 🙂

I think I’d be too scared to try. But if LC is brave enough to give it a try, I’ll have to consider it. I’ll definitely remember Ocean Watersports and Captain Wyatt

You are so brave! And LC too, wow! He’ll be the envy of the playground. 😉
