Spinnaker vs. parasailing Spinnaker is a recreational activity that is commonly mistaken as parasailing. Both of them allows people to ascend on the ocean by using the wind force against a specially designed canopy. However, parasailing involves gliding at a greater height while spinnaker only allows a person to swing at the front of the  boat. Parachute vs. parasailing Both the parachute and parasail can ascend and glide. The primary difference between the two is that the parasail is more stable and efficient during the ascent mode when being towed aloft with minimum or zero steering control by the parasailor. The parachute is not efficient when towed and is primarily used for skydiving where the parachutist can fully control the direction. In the descent mode, both are designed to slow the fall of a person during said descent at any given altitude . Kite color The parachute/kite part is normally brightly colored to match the beach area in which it is used. Some people have kites with colors matching their favorite sports team or alma mater. Many parasail canopies that are designed for commercial use offering rides to tourists on vacation are bright in color and have designs ranging from flags, logos, smiley faces, and multiple color patterns .
