diablopilot 2 #5 February 13, 2012 Having both competed and run competitions (but never having built a pond) I think I'd find 2 feed deep to be insufficient for protection from a poor landing attempt.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

crazydiver 0 #6 February 13, 2012 Much deeper new with the new distance rules. ;) Cheers, Travis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjudd 0 #7 February 16, 2012 id say the 1m or just over 3ft mark deep sounds best. Gives a higher safety margin when someone does skip off the water and flip through their risers head first into the pond. the deeper the better imo. also it will take longer to heat the water body causing less evaporation? only a guess but its seems logical Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, guys just shallow enough in the middle so you can stand up and your reserve pack tray is out of the water. Most I have seen/ swooped are around 2.5 feet deep in the middle. Ours here at Raeford Parachute Center in NC is 100' x 300' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob.dino 0 #9 February 19, 2012 The rules say "at least 60cm". http://www.fai.org/component/phocadownload/category/?download=3950:2011-cp-rules-final Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
