Well the simple of it is as follows. you strap your feet into a surf board...then strap on a harness attached to a parachute...flip it up and catch some wind...then you go skipping accross the water like a flat rock:eek:..it's pretty cool:cool: That is unless it picks you up in the air about 20 ft and slams ya back into the ground...or water...that hurts:eek:

Be sure and kick back on the beach with a fine Dominican Cigar and a little brandy to cap off a true Dominican experience while you are there!
