Big Bear Parasail has been operating out of pine knot landing since 1988. The business was purchased from Ted Knight in 1994 by long time local resident Wally Weber. Wally and Ted both graduated from big bear high school in the 60’s, and boated the lake since childhood. Wally’s background as a commercial pilot and hobie cat racer were ideally suited for the business and gave him a unique advantage in understanding the mountain environment and high altitude wind and weather conditions.
Wally and stepson Wade Reeser were the first captains. The business has grown to nine employees including Wally’s daughter Kristin Weber as crew and office girl. In the off-season, Wally runs the ski and snowboard school at Snow Summit where he has worked since 1966! Big bear parasail has flown over 10,000 injury free flights since 1994 and plans to be here for a long time.
