HI everyone, I'm brand new to this forum and to skydiving and although this question may have been asked many, many times in the past, it has always been a question of mine that I don't get a straight answer for.... I know there are many variables when it comes to canopy design, but my question is, "If you hold in half or heavy breaks can you make it back to the DZ if you had a long spot?" does holding in breaks allow you to travel further down wind, upwind or no wind? or does it shorten your distance covered....
