This was the scene at Cal Anderson Park today, over lunchtime. I'm not sure what the plan here is. But it's an attention-getter. UPDATE: Via Twitter, @ryanhealy comments: "It's technically a sail for kite surfing. You don't want to jump from a plane with that."

Parasail
You can use these for kite surfing, but they've been used for years as parasails. I flew one (tandem - I didn't have control) off the cliffs of Lima, Peru a few years ago.

A very peaceful and only marginally frightening way to tour. Why you'd have one in CA park, I have no idea.
