sebas 0 #1 August 23, 2003 Let me start by saying that I do understand that with my 21 jumps I'm still way of going to skysurf but it is just that i'm thinking of what way I want to go in our beautiful sport. I've heard that before you are allowed to surf you need to have quite some freefly jumps and skills. How many is that and did I hear right? It's just that I love snowboarding and wavesurfing, so skysurfing looks just as much fun to me. That way I can control three out of the four elements with a board... When the time comes I will surely contact experienced surfers but for now: I don't know any... Could some of you help me with my questions? greetings Do one thing every day that scares you - Baz Luhrman: The Sunscreen Song Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflygoddess 0 #2 August 23, 2003 I am not sure where you are at, because I didn't look, but you should come out to Skydive Arizona in Eloy and talk to Keith. If you go to Eloy's website www.skydiveaz.com look for skysurfing or go to his web site, http://www.surfflite.com/school.html. Keith (Keebie, not sure how to spell his nick name) is awesome and he really loves getting people into skysurfing, but you will need lots of experiance all around, belly, freeflying, canopy control.

PurpleBadger 0 #7 August 27, 2003 I don't think that Tanya is jumping much after having her kid, though Craig is there most of the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #8 August 27, 2003 QuoteI don't think that Tanya is jumping much after having her kid Maybe so but she was jumping my last 2 visits to Perris. Even so, alot of the work is done on the ground before a new surfer takes to the skies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
