Skydiving near FORT WALTON BEACH in Florida???

[rawmojo 0]

Going to FORT WALTON BEACH in April 2011, but I'm wondering if there's a Dropzone near the place?
Is it worth taking the equipment with me?

Anyone from Florida who knows?

When I was working there a few year ago, I drove over to Emerald Coast, had a real good time, and there was a little DZ. just a few miles form FWB

Someone posted something not too long ago about a new DZ somewhere over there.

i just spent time in fwb--

Emerald Coast is 70 miles from fwb and has a caravan and 182--really nice--

Skydive Live is the 182 dz about 70 northeast of fwb, also really nice, but they just closed 'til further notice'--zoning issuses? so far in the country?

Yup... Just left AFSOC. Emerald Coast is closest DZ. Caravan during the summer and 182 during the winter. However, on long weekends I'd hit up The Farm and of course the annual trek to the St. Patty's Boogie in Fitz. All easy drives from FWB.

Don't be sexist… Broads hate that.

Maybe a typing error above.
We have a Caravan now and thru our beach boogie Memorial Day weekend. Then probably just the 182 for summer.

Thanks!
But where is "The Farm" and the "St. Patty's Boogie" located?
I'm from Sweden (my names is NOT 'Inga'...) so my geographical knowledge of places in the US are a bit...numb...

The Farm is outside of Atlanta, Georgia, about 6 or so hours from Fort Walton Beach (my brother used to live there). The St. Patrick's Boogie is in Fitzgerald, Georgia, about 3 or 4 hours from Fort Walton Beach.

260 miles from Fort Walton Beach to Fitzgerald.

ECSC is more than nice, especially the beachjumps to the BAMA

You definitively have to visit for the Memorial Day Beach Boogie!! Awesome beachjumps and great party! Would be nice to meet some other Europeans thru the boogie....and don't forget to bring Inga for a tandem
