The last week in March we spent at Skydive Empuriabrava in northern Spain while running a USPA Coach Rating Course. The international gather of course participants made it not only fun but also successful upon completion. Please join us and give a big applause to the newly born Coaches:
Andy Hughes (Ireland) / Kevin Cullen (Ireland) / Alain Hubert (Belgium) / Mirko di Siena (Italy) / Samantha Pavon (Switzerland)
We congratulate each one of you and thank you for your participation. Special thanks goes also out to Alain and Pol for assisting on the course as well as the entire staff of Skydive Empuriabrava for their great hospitality.
Another celebrations needs recognition: our German student Stephan Konz was unstoppable on the way to build up jumps. In only one week, he completed his AFF jumps and managed to go all the way towards his Alicense! With completion of packing course and FS coaching jumps, Stephan now has all the requirements for his Alicense and we give a big applause to such a great development! Well done and al thumbs up for you!
We welcome Marc Volle from Germany who booked himself onto the AFF beginner course. After completing the ground school with instructor Joachim, Marc is ready to get in the air and to go through the AFF level jumps. Passing the entire program, Marc has been graduated from AFF before heading back home. Congrats to you for that achievement and good luck on your first solo jumps!
We welcome another course participant from Germany who has been with us in the past: Andreas Zwetsch is back and ready to go for his AFF Instructor evaluations! After a few months break and some tunnel time, Andreas is back in the air and showing great performance on his AFF eval jumps. At the end of the stay, we can congratulate Andreas for passing all the needed jumps and for getting his certificate of being a new USPA AFF Instructor!
Our former AFF student Marcus Aulfinger has been with us in sunny Seville and he jumped as much as possible benefiting from fast turn a rounds with the Dornier and great weather conditions. After only a few days, Marcus completed all the requirements for his Alicense and the entire team congratulates him! Great job, Marcus!
Another milestone has been achieved by Oleg from Lithuania. Not only did he manage to get his Coach Rating, but he completed also his tandem evaluation and is now proud owner of the USPA and UPT Tandem Instructor ratings. Congratulations to you Oleg and all the best for your upcoming jumps!
In our March program at Skydive Spain, we were pleased to meet Antony from US and Oleg from Lithuania who participated in the USPA Coach Rating course with Marcus Laser. Both candidates have successfully completed the Coach evaluation and we give a big applause to them for achieving their goal and for being the new USPA Coaches!
Our former Coach course participant Martijn from Holland is back! Martijn has booked himself on our tandem instructor course at sunny Skydive Spain. Martijn was well prepared and passed the course with flying colours! Well done and congratulation for being a new USPA and UPT tandem instructor.
Our team member and AFF-I Julian Barthel is unstoppable on his development and progress in the sport. He is building up jump numbers and experience of course! During our stay at Skydive Spain, we were able to celebrate his jump number 700! Happy faces after the landing can tell that it must have been a great jump! We say HAPPY 700, Julian and many more ….
Our Instructors Academy was part of the annual USPA Safety Day hosted by Greek Freefall Club in Greece. Besides the event organization, two of the seminars were presented by our own Marcus Laser. With more than 60 participants the overall feedback of the whole event was great. We thank everybody for joining and for taking the Safety Issue as important and serious in our sport!
