Batchelor412 0 #1 February 10, 2017 Does anyone have any information on the Parachute Recovery Systems they used on Sky Surfing Boards(Skyboards). Can they be purchased or were they entirely custom by a rigger?Kyle Batchelor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiggerLee 61 #2 February 11, 2017 Loftus had them for his boards. The rest of us built our own. Loftus had two cables running from one foot to the loops on the "containor". I recomend one cable from each foot so that both have to sepporate before the canopy can be released. It was basically a large pilot chute. More for form and liability then any thing else. See it has a parachute. It the board is light it just kind of flutters down . Thy generally tumble on there side and fall relitivly slow. The PC stabalized it but I'm not sure it actually fell any slower. LeeLee lee@velocitysportswear.com www.velocitysportswear.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batchelor412 0 #3 February 13, 2017 How were the small parachute containers attached to the board? Screws, rivets or some hardcore glue of some kind?Kyle Batchelor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batchelor412 0 #5 February 14, 2017 Thank You for your input sir. I am very thankful. Would you have any advice for me as I wish to Sky Surf in the near future? I have done tons of reading and research! I have seen a video of a beginner board with regular footing deploy his main parachute while on his belly without any rotation. Whats your thoughts on that? Thanks.Kyle Batchelor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
