Well I just found a reason to stay home for New Years! Now I have to sort out how to tell the family visiting from NJ for Christmas that I am working while they are here so I can take the following week off B|

Let the girls list begin......

Dreams become reality, one choice at a time...

Sounds great Chris! You mention a cash purse for the women but what about the Pro comp? Im guessing that there is a purse.




There will be an itermediate competition on Thursday January 4 at the DZ. It will consist of 6 rounds of speed, distance and accuracy with 10 ft gates and IPC weight restrictions. There will be cash and prizes for the top three overall finishers and for the top three female finishers.

The Pro comp on the beach will have a larger cash purse yet to be determined (it will be respectable) distributed among the top ten finishers.
It will also use IPC weight restriction rules.
The events that will be done at the beach will be announced soon.

Yes, this comp is directly geared to those of you who have never competed before. This is a perfect opportunity for you guys... and gals who have been watching and waiting to come out and shows us your stuff and unleash your fury on the sport of Swooping.

There will be alot of Pro pilots there and some fun stuff for all.

The skills camps with Performance Designs Factory coaches that will be available all week prior to the Intermediate comp, are a great option for you to get some coaching before you compete and don't forget the Essential skills camps with Jimmy T that will be available also.

If you are at all interested in flying parachutes, this will definately be the place to be for the week of January 1-6

Hey Paul

This is the only event we are working on right now. It should be a good one.

I did however just come back from Belgium and the European tour for 2007 looks like it's shaping up nicely. They are working on their schedule right now so we should look for that to come out as soon as they are ready with it.
You should really try to make some of the European events next year Paul.
