  • Thrill-seekers looking for a challenge may soon have a new option - Wingboarding. The sport is similar to wakeboarding except for one thing - Instead of performing acrobatics on water, wingboarders will conduct heart-stopping maneuvers in the skies while being towed behind an airplane.

      This is very important for a summary or story.
  • The takeoff is somewhat similar to that of the airplane that is towing it. The wheels at the bottom help the board and rider lift off as they are being pulled by the plane on the runway. Riders can land in a similar way. Those seeking more adventure can detach themselves from the board and parachute down to solid ground. The board itself is also equipped with a parachute to ensure a soft and gentle landing.
