Early May, Where to go in the US

[miconar 0]

Hi everyone :)

Im setting up a two weeks skydiving vacation starting May 1st.

Only US DZ I jumped before is Eloy. was awesome, but im told May is not a good time to go there.

I heard Sebastian was a good place to try that time of year, with Deland and another DZ (?) near by in case of bad weather, as well as a tunnel near by. When is it jumping season in Florida?

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I want a 7 days a week DZ with (of course) lots of loads and easy predictable weather as much as possible. I want to make some Freefly coaching jumps, and am thinking of a wingsuit course (first time, so need an instructor and demo suits around). A tunnel reasonably near by would be nice, but i dont mind starting at any tunnel and then moving to the dz for the rest of my time.

So that is my wish list. Any one knows the place im talking about?

TIA

Yes, Eloy.

or Perris.

Looks like Perris is having a bigway camp May 5th-8th, do you think it would it be difficult to get on loads during that time?

Is the weather at Perris usually fine this time of year?

Thank you for your reply!

May is a good month in FL, the temps are warm but not horrible yet and the summer afternoon rain won't start for about a month. There a lot of dz's you can hit plus the tunnel.

As for freefly coaches, one that I recommend is Ari Pearleman who is also a tunnel coach. He's a great teacher! I think he'll go to Sebastian, Zhills or Deland.

+1 Ari is a great coach... and damn he can fly! Got into a stand while wearing booties.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Im leaning towards Florida right now, I guess.

What about SDC? The season is just starting there, I understand.

Cheers.

Good people over there at SDC. Nice landing area. good outs. might be a bit chilly, but you should have a blast. If you fly into Chicago Midway ariport you can spot SDC whick I found was a huge tease
