Canuck278 0 #1 July 24, 2002 hey there everyone.....I'm the new guy!I heard about this site at my new drop zone the other day and thought i would check it out. I started jumping in Halifax Canada, did 2 jumps there while i was on a course. Now i am back in B.C. I'm just coming up on my 10th jump this weekend and just did my first freefall last sunday. I'm really getting hooked fast on this whole skydiving thing......I've never had as much of a rush as I do when i leave that plane....Anyway just thought i would say hey...drop a reply....anyone out there in san diego or hawaii let me know how your drop zones are....I'm in both places a lot....

hohonukai 0 #2 July 24, 2002 Yo! Snootchies! Yea, when you coming out to Hawaii next? It's a little windy most days, but beautiful. Small landing area right between the ocean and the mountains. What else would you like to know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scoby 0 #3 July 25, 2002 Which islands are the dropzones on and where? I went to Maui in January and it was amazing. Next time, I'd love to jump in paradise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hohonukai 0 #4 July 25, 2002 Oahu has three concessions on one drop zone located at Dillingham Airfield in Mokuleia. They are: Pacific Skydiving Center Skydive Hawaii Air Tugie Productions All three have web sites out there. I jump at Pacific Skydiving Center. http://www.pacific-skydiving.com/ http://www.hawaiiskydiving.com/hawaiiskydiving/ http://www.dropzonehawaii.com/ The web sites don't seem to be updated that frequently. Too busy hanging outside enjoying the sunshine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canuck278 0 #10 July 26, 2002 hohoanuaki I'll be in Hawaii (in pearl city) around the first week of OCT. Also am curious as too weather or not i will be able to make a jump or not......I just started jumping a month and a half ago....hence no a licence......I should have my solo licence by then hopefully but that is a canadian licence and i'm not sure if US drop zones will accept it?? guess i'll see "Careful? I don't need to be careful.........I got a gun" Steve Therapy is expensive, popping bubble wrap is cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was on vacation a few years ago (checking the island out to see what it was like before moving) and didn't have my A license yet. Had made quite a few solo jumps before visiting. Still made a tandem jump and actually was awesome because I could just check out the view at the time and not stress about landing, or newbie concerns at a foreign dz. It was well worth it at the time. Just a thought. Even if you don't jump, there's plenty to see here.
