Norcal skydiving trip

[tetra316 0]

There's a couple of us planning a spring break trip at the end of March to norcal dzs. We're going to Lodi for sure but none of us has been to any other dzs down there. So what's the vibe like at the other places? I'm pretty sure Holister has bunkhouses/showers but couldn't find info on the other places.

Each DZ has it's own good vibe. Depends on which flavor you like.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Why stay away from Montery?
So what flavor do those dzs have?

What about Skydive San Francisco, or are they just a tandem cessna dz?

[jsaxton 0]

Skydive San Francisco is AFAIK a cessna tandem factory

I have heard that Montery refuses to fly upjumpers during the week
I personally don't know anyone who jumps there.

We plan similar trip in april?

So which of those DZs has mostly freefly and party vibe?

"George just lucky i guess!"

[jsaxton 0]

Byron Davis and Lodi all have high experiance freefly scenes
probably for drinking, Byron and Davis
Hollister has a good freefly scene too, and man can they drink!
Lodi may party pretty hard too but I haven't been there in a couple years.

Added more water info
I did a few jumps in Monterey last month and had an awesome time. Great views of the ocean. I think it can be hit or miss, though, depending if there are other fun jumpers there that day.
