Honoruru 0 #1 December 8, 2010 I'm headed to New Zealand soon and I'm wondering which dropzones I should concentrate my time at if I am also trying to tour the country and not spend too much time in one place. Which dropzones are best for sport jumpers (how many loads going up in a day during the weekday and/or weekend?), which ones have the best scenery, facilities and are geared towards sport jumping. I'm not sure if some do tandem only. I am interested in the dropzones near Christchurch, Te Anau, Queenstown, Dunedin, Motueka (Abel Tasman), Wellington, Taupo, Auckland. Also, I have a USPA license, do I need to get a NZ license and what is involved (can I just fill out a paper)? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Each dropzone jumps under a particular organisation, so you have to have their particular licence. If you jumped at all the places you listed you'd probably need at least 3 NZ licences. It's a friggin' joke! Christchurch and Motueka are very sport friendly, both have great vibe. Haven't jumped any others.Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
