Hi everyone!

In 2013, I did an AFF course in California at Perris drop zone, and it was amazing!
It was a 7 or 8 jumps course, that qualified me for solo jumps.
Unfortunately, due to bad weather, I couldn't do them in time and didn't actually graduate/qualify.

I am going to Texas for a couple of weeks this summer. (And I'll have about 6-7 days free)
All the drop zones there seem to do the AFF in about 18-25 jumps (!).
Is this because the USPA changed the training programme since? Is it a state thing?
And more importantly, is there actually any drop zone in Texas that does the AFF course in 7-8 jumps? Considering the limited number of days that I have, I'd like to optimise my chances.
Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone!

I am planning to go to California for 2 weeks in November to do the AFF license!
I can't chose between Elsinore or Perris drop zones...

What should I look for?
How to chose?
Any comments?

Cheers!

Thanks guys!

Any nice dropzones/clubs in California that you would recommend?

What about Australia (Queensland...), NZ or Hawaii?

Hi everyone!

I am 28, French, living in the UK, and I NEED holidays!

My idea:
- I need holidays. I need adrenaline. I need sun.
- I want to learn skydiving, following an AFF course.
- I can take 2 weeks holidays in september/october.
- I can go anywhere. Literally. I was thinking Australia, NZ, California, Hawaii, etc... I'll basically chose depending on the dropzones and the weather.
- I'll be traveling alone, but I'd like to join a group.
- A drop zone next to / not far from the sea would be a huge bonus!

Have you got any good tips?
Where can I find groups or clubs to join?
Any good drop zone/club to meet people and do an AFF course?
Any website where they organise such group holidays?
Where would be your dream place to jump and learn?

Thanks!
