ojf1982 0 #1 October 9, 2001 ok, ihave like 50 jumps, and what i really interested is in skysurfing. I know i have some time to go before i start to experiment with skyboards. For the experts out there, what can i practice on to help me when i start skysurfing? Any schools you recommend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aviatrr 0 #2 October 9, 2001 You need to be proficient at sit/stand before you try skysurfing. From what I understand, most places want 200 jumps minimum. For a list of some schools, check out the link below.http://homepage.mac.com/ssiprotour/learn.htmlMike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fonz 0 #3 October 10, 2001 I am not an experienced jumper, but I can give you some pointers:DON'T start experimenting by yourself. Skysurfing is moredifficult and dangerous than "conventional" skydiving.Seek out competent instruction/coaching.If you live in the CA region, go to Perris.They have a Skysurfing School there, with very experienced"teachers".You need to be completely comfortable in freefall. Sitting,standing, on your back, head down, everything. And of courseyou have to be able to perform "basic" aerobatic moves likelayout loops and stuff. Skysurfing is truly 3-dimensional.I too want to take up skysurfing sometime.My plan is to first seek instruction in freestyle, then move onto freeflying and ultimately go to a skysurfing school.The best thing for you to do is probably just going to askysurfing school or coach and ask. They will not accept youyet, but they should be able to tell you what to do before theywill/can accept you.Good luck,Alphons Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
