Record Breaking Summer

Things take a little longer in December especially paperwork. With no complaints, I attribute these delays to our beautiful South African summers dragging us outdoors instead.

But it is finally verified, ratified, recorded and official. We have 2 new PASA South African National Records to celebrate!

    • Largest Formation VFS – Head Down: 6-way, achieved at PSC in December
    • Large Formation Sequential: 2 point 11-way, achieved at the JBay Boogie in December

Congratulations, to the new record-holders.

Three reach 1000th skydive on the same load
Has anyone even heard a crazy awesome statistic like this?

THREE JSC members doing their 1000th jump on the exact same load... We certainly haven't!

Peter Hansen, Ryan Weeks and Bruce Tait completed their 1000th jump on the 17th January 2016, on the same load, at Johannesburg Skydiving Club.

That Just Happened. What an AMAZING Achievement! We are not too sure about this, we certainly haven't EVER heard of anything of this nature happening at any club, anywhere, around the WORLD. Three club members reach this amazing achievement on the same jump.

We are blessed to have them and we're tremendously proud.

WELL DONE BOYS! - J Swanepoel
