  1. SkyVenture NH is running a Black Friday block time sale. $500 hours if you buy 6 hours. Here is a link to the deal. https://app.locbox.com/campaigns/249295
  2. This 1200hp recirculating tunnel is New England’s only vertical wind tunnel, located 45 minutes north of Boston on the Massachusetts / New Hampshire border. It is ½ mile north of the busiest shopping mall in New Hampshire.
  3. Here is a link to a construction pic http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Surfs-Up-NH/213215712038348
  4. ahh... we like our tube of pleasure... it might be 12 feet but that doesn't stop us from doing a 12 way head down! Huck Jam at SVNH tunnel comp 2012. Hope you can come and visit our AMAZING new expansion when it is done.
  5. News from SkyVenture NH... for anyone that has not been in lately or is wondering what all the construction is at SkyVenture NH. SVNH is pleased to announce that our 11 thousand foot expansion is well underway and we are looking to open april / may 2013. We are adding a 32 foot Surfstream to our line up. It is the first in the US and the largest in the world. The Surfstream is the only machine that you ride a regular surf board and produces three waves found in nature. It has a training wave, an oscillating river wave ( which you can kayak also ) and a 6 foot standing barrel with 28 feet of face to carve on right or left. Our new Surf's Up project also includes our Fishpipe, Rock Wall, Oasis food cafe, surf side party room, gift shop and more! All of this under one big retractable roof and decked out carribean style with real palm trees. So in 2013 you will not only be able to FLY at SVNH but you can hang out in our new tropical paradise.
  6. Soon YOU will be able to SURF and FLY at SVNH. We are still busy planning our new addition of indoor surfing coming 2012. The house next to the tunnel will be flattened soon and the sewer pipe moved to make way for the surfstream. For those of you who have not been to the tunnel lately be sure and come check out and ride our fishpipe. The fishpipe will be on site until it gets cold in mid September. If you don't know what it is... check out the website. www.fishpipenh.com It is nothing but FUN. Plan on getting wet and bring a towel
  7. We have done a bunch of R&D at our tunnel and the Ouragan suits stand up better than any other suit. If you plan to do a good amount of time in the tunnel then you really should think about a sky/tunnel suit without spandex. The amount of drag is kind of on you.. and also which tunnel that you choose to fly in. SVNH is a fast tunnel and requires less drag. A slower tunnel like orlando would require more drag. Depending on your build and level will also factor in the amount of drag that you want. You could always talk to the instructors that are helping you with your head down and ask them what amount of drag that would be most helpful to you. Good luck!
  8. The weather is good and the summer is here... so it is shaping up for a great summer in the sky and tunnel! Skyventure NH is pleased to announce our membership see http://www.skyventurenh.com/wordpress/?page_id=2 for details and some new changes! Joe Winters will be at SVNH from now to july 13th. So if you are looking for coaching with Joe book soon due to his schedule is filling up fast. He will be back again on July 28th if you miss him on this trip. Don't forget if you are looking for a hotel when you are at SVNH the Radisson gives us a great rate of $59.00 plus tax. Be sure to mention that you are flying with us. As always at SVNH we provide true tunnel time on all of your blocks. So if you buy 30 minutes you get 30 minutes. Your tunnel time does not start until the first person enters the airflow. Giving you more AIR time!
  9. I believe that Pepperell does the skydive U aff style coarse. www.skyjump.com Give them a call... I saw Rob from Skydive U there this weekend and I know they bring their students to our tunnel. www.skyventurenh.com We help many aff students with their progress. If you decide to book some time at our tunnel make sure that you let the front desk know when booking what your goals are and we are always happy to help. Blue Skies!
  10. If you need a hotel Reservation you can call the Radisson at 603-888-9970. Make sure you tell them that you are flying at SkyVenture NH to get our special rate of $59.00 plus tax.
  11. Now that summer is almost here SVNH will be kicking off some spring / Summer Madness specials so stay tuned!
  12. We had a woman that was 93 that flew at SkyVenture NH and she did pretty good. It is always harder for older people due to the lack the flexibility. Cudos for your dad giving it a try.
  13. The #1 thing is customer safety. I understand that it may be a little harder to do. It could be a bad day if someone was up high ( our tunnel is 45 feet to the top ) and they had a shoulder dislocate. Playing it safe is always the best route.
  14. No.... not a skyventure. I think that it is a nice looking tunnel also.... here is the link to the company that built it. http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.isg-group.de/en/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbottrop%2Bgermany%2Bwind%2Btunnel%26hl%3Den&rurl=translate.google.com&usg=ALkJrhjfCMk8aJSs157X_wqHJOTmfgaOTQ
  15. Yes... we would let you fly. You would have to sign an additional waiver saying that you understand the risks of flying with a prior dislocation. It is also important to let the instructor know so that he is aware of it. Not just at my tunnel but at any tunnel for your safety. We would also want you to stay within the glass section when flying. Hope that helps.
  16. The only injuries that we have had are 8 shoulder dislocations... all of them were customers ( first time flyers ) that had previous shoulder dislocations and when asked when checking in and in the class room they did not disclose it. You would have to ask each tunnel to get the answer that you are looking for. Not sure if they will tell you.. especially if there is a lawsuit going on.
  17. I think the glass looks better!

    Rig Condom

    We have allowed them at SkyVenture NH as long as all medal hardware is covered. I saw one a while back that was made ( maybe by a rig company ) that was really nice. Keep looking they are out there.
  19. Here is one option for you.. http://www.skyventurenh.com/wordpress/?page_id=2 That works out to 600.00 per hour and we have Joe Winters on staff for freefly coaching along with our instructors. Feel free to e me or give us a call and ask for Karoline, Laurie or Rob. Blue Skies!
  20. Well... old mother winter is upon us dumping 8" of snow yesterday 12/9. It is sure to be a white Christmas. The staff and myself would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays!
  21. For those of you who did not read the VFS post here it is.... Wow,,,,, It was an awesome event! A big thanks to Ben, Ari, Jim, Butch, Stacey and Sara for all of the help and support that they provided. Also thanks to my staff for working late nights. It was great to see so many people at the event. We will definately plan another one in the future. We are working on a video at the moment of the event and will put details out there when we finish it. I do have master copies of all of the rounds if someone needs one. Please feel free to contact me. We will also be posting photo's of the event and will give you details soon. On a side note our youngest competitor was Josh Chasse at age 13 and he did a great job. He woke up that morning thinking that he didn't want to go due to nerves... but did and won first place in intermediate. So.. I would also like to thank all of the people that made Josh feel welcome. He is a shy guy and it helped him more than you will ever know. So thanks again to all of you who came and we look forward to seeing you at the next one! Blue Skies!
