Newer than new here.
Made 4 tandem jumps with SkyDive Hawaii the past month and loved it. I plan to get my AFF very soon. Living in Tahoe-Reno and having read the various threads, bumping this one for any new insights.
A few very experienced acquaintances of mine jump Lodi. But I'm at the opposite far end of that spectrum, obviously.
I lost my cherry here. Jumped 3 times in two days and am going back this coming weekend. Super cool people, low key, professional, kind, fun. IT WAS PERFECT.
LZ is fine. A few folks were wingsuiting out of the plane.
