I have never been to the Lake Wales location. I heard the old management had a bad reputation... something about Tandem issues. Anyway, I was fortunate enough to be on the first load of the Grand Re-Opening today. Bill, the owner, was very approachable as well as his staff. As a new jumper I like to watch jumpers and staff pack canopies to learn different techniques. Neither had an issue with me "Looking over their shoulder" and in fact, stopped for a moment to show me important points which I appreciated. Good luck to Bill and his staff. A new DZ in Central Florida and new faces that make this social sport so important and special to me.
