Ryye 0 #1 October 23, 2010 Anybody ever jump in Hawaii at North Shore? It was a blast and I was just curious to see if anybody else has been that way. Also, anybody know what kind of plane this is? I'm new to the sport :)Some of the greatest accomplishments were done by people too stupid to know they were impossible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #7 October 23, 2010 Were you doing a tandem there or solo jump? I hear it's a tight DZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #8 October 23, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAecgM-q8b8 You must have at least a B license to jump there. Not so much a tight landing area, but no outs and winds that will likely be unfamiliar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could definitely understand about the winds though, considering it is RIGHT next to the ocean.Some of the greatest accomplishments were done by people too stupid to know they were impossible.

DSE 5 #12 October 23, 2010 Mountains, powerlines, trade winds, tall trees, o my! The ocean is the least of your worries. Trades combined with obstacles and few outs is the bigger concern, IMO. People come to Hawaii where it's common to jump in winds that would ground most low-timers. If you learn in Hawaii, you can jump pretty much anywhere.

fossg 0 #18 October 25, 2010 I remember the days when they would put staticline students out on jumbo PCs ... The paracomander was a high performance round. The best time of my life (so far) were spent at that dropzone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not so much a tight landing area, but no outs and winds that will likely be unfamiliar. Hmmm...this doesn't sound correct. You can jump there with an A license. If the winds shift and they use their alternate landing area, which is at the other end of the field, they limit that to B and above. I've only been there a few times but that's what I remember.Truth is the distilled meaning of facts, for any truth refuted by a fact becomes a fallacy.

How long ago were you there? How about you pick up the phone and ask Blossom, Don, Marli, Mary, or Beth at manifest? There is a sign in front of the packing area, and manifest will tell you this too. Pacific may have different rules, I don't know (only tried to jump there once). I might even have a photo of the sign from last month. I'm there fairly often.

BlueSBDeath 2 #21 October 25, 2010 DSE is correct, Pacific Skydiving will allow you to jump there with an "A" if the conditions are good enough. Please feel free to contact either DZ to get the first person information on what is or is not allowed at each company. Aloha!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
