Hadn't jumped in a long time and wanted to see if I still had it. Stopped in at DeLand--got some negative vibes so drove to Zhills. Much better.
However, great skydivers don't necessarily make great instructors. However, that said, lots of great folks there---well equipped gear store, good fast type food and cold beer in the bar. Rental gear was in great shape and the packers are first rate guys who know their business. Oh, btw, I still do have "it". TK manages a tight ship very well and I felt welcome. I will go back soon.

Love this place. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is super professional. Manifest is efficient, instructors/coaches are some of the best in the world, packing is awesome and fast, food is GREAT, facilities are old school with a cool vibe. You cannot go wrong with this place. Just bring a good attitude and a desire to jump!

I took a few days away from the (semi) cold North to try to get some jumps in Florida. Decided on Z-hills as my first stop. Very laid back atmosphere, nice sprawling airport, easy to locate LZ, good coaching, friendly people, nice pro shop, fast turnarounds on loads - no waiting...what more can you ask for? The rest of the weekend was a washout as far as weather goes, but I had a great day at Z-hills and would recommend it to anyone.

I am so happy I came to Zhills from a smaller, crappier dz. The attitude of the business is definitely out to make a buck, which is fine, but not at the cost of safety. Nothing like looking down under canopy, to see the landing pattern and seeing a spider web. The average fun jumper is friendly and nice, once you ask around. The load organizers are awesome about matching people up and about giving little tricks to make you better.

Some of the staff is really great (about 5%), the rest will either ignore you or treat you like shit. No dz is perfect, but this is a great dz to just "get away" to from your home dz.

I went to ZHills for the Christmas/New Years boogie last year and it was an absolute blast. Multiple Otters and the SkyVan turning, helicopter jumps, a gigantic landing area - it was quite the change from my home DZ.

The setup is great, the facilities are awesome, camping is free, fireworks, great bar, the food is amazing and two words for you: Pirate Ship. You have to see it to believe it.

If you can only take one trip down south this winter, check out the Christmas/New Years boogie at Zhills. You'll have a great time, pinky swear.
