I'd venture to guess that a regular kite would have worked equally well or better for your friend. I did a fair bit of research on them, inspected (but never flew) them, and talked to a lot of experts about the company's claims about their product. When I was working on an article on downwind sails for the magazine I asked for one to test but they insisted I fly to them in Tampa (at my own expense) so they could "train" me on their use. If that's necessary for someone of my experience then I doubt someone of little experience is going to have more success than with a regular kite. My assessment of the Parasail is not exactly uninformed!
