Due to their hard and vigilant work to push for new regulations of the parasailing industry in Florida, Jason and Debi Chalik were featured recently on the Advocate Capital Inc blog.
The article summarizes how the Chalik’s first got involved in parasailing regulations, and the eventual passing of the White Miskell Act.
The article goes on to say:

We would like to thank the author, Donna Jones, and Advocate Capital for the kind words.
