Flight leaves from Detroit at 3 today (+3F here!)! Jumping Zephyrhills on Friday and the Boogie on Saturday!

I was in Pompano 2 years ago and went up to Clewston for my AFF jumps 2-5. On the first day we reviewed all of the ground stuff as it was a weather day and it had been 18 months since I did the ground school in Michigan. Day two we jumped. Great place to jump, lot's of room to land, food, and a fast plane! It was an easy drive from Pompano once I got west of Ft. Lauderdale traffic. On day two I drove up to W. Palm and then west just to mix it up.

I bought a Z-1 used from DZ, sized per the manufacturers chart. I'm 6'2" and have a 24" head so I needed an XXL. The helmet looked nicely made, but fit my face really tight. My nose just hit the inside of the visor, my lower jaw was pushed back and I couldn't talk at all (painful), and the sides pressed hard on my cheekbones. It fit the top, back and sides of my head nicely - it seems that it is designed for more narrow faces. Fortunately it was really easy to re-sell at the local DZ - but the purchaser thought that it had a snug facial area fit too.
