Drop Zone Action

Another big week at the DZ with Students, Tandems, B-Rels, and Fun Jumpers all making solid progress. Huge congratulations to Kai, Matthew, and Josie, who all completed their AFF Courses with Stage 9 – with Josie smashing out the entire course from Stage 1 to 9 in just three days. Unreal effort from all of you.

Cheers to everyone who made it out, helped out, jumped in, or just brought the good vibes. Here’s to blue skies ahead…

Looking ahead, don’t forget the upcoming Learning Curve Camp from 27 April to 1 May – a week-long event for students and fun jumpers to build skills across all disciplines, with loads of coaching, seminars, and midweek jumping.

Catch you in freefall,
The Ramblers Crew 🪂
