In the 1930s, the U.S. government issued a hobby to each citizen to keep them entertained until NASA finished working out the bugs in kissing. Self-determine a new pastime with today's Groupon to River Parasail and Parker Strip Rentals in Parker. Choose between two options:

• For $50, you get two parasail flights at River Parasail (a $100 value).
• For $30, you get an all-day water toy rental at Parker Strip Rentals (up to a $60 value). Choose from a wakeboard, water skis, a tube, stand-up paddleboard, or a five-person water weenie.

River Parasail's expert navigators unite guests with panoramic views and invigorating experiences on the Colorado River obtainable only by parasailers and waterfowl. Up to six passengers can board the custom-built human-aircraft carrier, which features an extended deck and an on-board winch to provide parasailers with a dry takeoff and landing. The captain will send human kites to a desired height between 50 and 500 feet, allowing them to catch aerial views of the Colorado River before coming closer to snuggling with low-lying clouds.

Parker Strip Rentals also helps river-farers celebrate the union of hydrogen and oxygen with a selection of water toys that includes wakeboards, water skis, tubes, stand-up paddleboards, and a five-person water weenie. The all-day rental will last between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., during which customers can tow tethered passengers from their own personal watercraft, or from the back of one of Parker Strip Rentals' boats ($275/day).
