I went to Kapowsin with a buddy to do a tandem jump and upon arriving at 10AM heard about the AFF class so we signed up for that.
We went throught the 5 hours of instruction, no complaints, the instructors tried to make it as painless as possible. My hat goes off to the two Toms who did a good job of explaining things. This is the only reason professionalism and vibe got two stars.
However, when we got the thumbs up to go at 3PM my buddy and I waited for 3 and a half hours while group after group of tandem jumpers who arrived after us went before us. With the lame explanation that they didn't have enough instructors to do two AFFs at the same time. Seems to me if you take up 4 tandem jumpers who are each lashed to an instructor and there are two instructors required per AFF then indeed you did have enough. On the whole this made an experience that I was looking forward to for years a most unpleasant one.
I'll take my business elsewhere and definitely never refer my friends to Kapowsin.
