Preparing for Skydiving Season: Embracing the Adrenaline Rush

As spring approaches, skydivers across the nation eagerly await the arrival of the jumping season. From licensed jumpers brushing up on their skills to first-timers trembling with excitement, it's time to prepare for the thrilling adventure that lies ahead.

Dive Headfirst into the Season

Skydiving season, primarily spanning between spring and late fall, signifies the opportunity to take flight with the skies. The exact start date varies by location and weather conditions, but the warming temperatures and increasing daylight spell the perfect launchpad for an extraordinary season ahead.

At Skydive Orange, the doors remain open year-round, although operations may be briefly suspended during the coldest months. As winter fades and spring colors begin to bloom, the dropzone transforms into a bustling hub for adrenaline junkies. As the season's peaks— May to October—draw near, anticipation for blue skies, camaraderie, and heart-pounding leaps intensifies.

The Skydiver's Dream Season

While skydivers cherish moments in the sky all year round, much excitement lies within the peak months. The crispness of spring, the energy of summer, and the stunning autumn foliage each provide an unforgettable backdrop for breathtaking jumps.

From avid enthusiasts to novice jumpers, opinions regarding the best month to skydive vary. For some, the excitement of a new season in May or June captures their hearts, while others prefer the frenetic pace of July and August. October and November, with their calmer atmosphere and remaining favorable weather, also hold appeal.

Getting Ready for Skydiving: Tips for license holders and tandem students

Preparation plays a crucial role in ensuring a successful and safe skydiving experience. Whether you're a licensed jumper aspiring to brush up your skills or a first-timer gearing up for your inaugural leap, preparation is key.

For licensed jumpers:

Examining Your Equipment: Have your gear, including the container system, main canopy, and reserve parachute, thoroughly inspected by a certified parachute rigger. Additional checks on items like altimeters, AADs, and GoPros are essential to guarantee a smooth jump.
Refreshing Your Emergency Procedures: Maintaining familiarity with emergency procedures is paramount for any competent skydiver. Practicing them both at home and during refresher courses at a dropzone will be valuable in enhancing your skills for the season ahead.
Staying in Skydiving Shape: Focus on flexibility exercises such as yoga and stretching to boost mobility. You may also find benefit in incorporating core strength training to improve freefall performance, canopy control, and landings.
Attending Safety Day: Be part of the annual United States Parachute Association (USPA) Safety Day Events at your local skydiving center. These events help refresh skills, foster community connections, and learn from experts about the latest techniques, events, and protocols for the upcoming season.

For first-time tandem skydivers:

Understanding the Skydiving Experience: Prepare yourself for an unparalleled rush of adrenaline as you gear up, board the plane, and soar into the boundless sky. Adopt an open mind and rely on your instructor for guidance.
Dressing Appropriately: Wear weather-friendly clothing that allows for layers, as temperatures at altitude can be significantly cooler. Secure footwear is a must, so opt for closed-toe sneakers or athletic shoes.
Booking Ahead: To ensure peak jumping conditions and a smoother experience, book your skydive in advance, especially during the busiest summer months. Aim for a morning slot, which tends to offer better weather opportunities.
