Parasailing activity?

We're planning on a Florida vacation and want to try parasailing. I thought it would be neat to record the event (heart rate, GPS, elevation, speed, etc). I went through all of the sports in GWC, maybe I missed it. Is there not an activity for that? If not, what's the next appropriate activity?

Thank you!

  • Depends on the model you own, and which activity profiles are available on it. Garmin Connect supports for example  Hang Gliding, Sky Diving, Wingsuit Flying, or just simply Flying, so they could work for you, if available on your watch. If not, you can record the activity for example as Cycling (should then have all the metrics you required - HR, GPS, elevation, speed), and then change it for example to Hang Gliding (or whatever else you prefer) later in Garmin Connect.

  • I think that's what I'll do is use one of the outside gps enabled activities and just convert it to one of the "flying" or sailing activities.

  • "flying" or sailing activitie

    Sailing is unlikely to have the elevation profile. However, you can try several different sports, and see what fits you the best - you do not lose any data by changing the activity type.
