All of our contracted pilots and instructors are certified by the FAA and our instructors additionally hold USPA's highest
ratings and are rigorously trained and tested regularly. Most of our staff have several thousand skydives and
submit to regular, random drug screening... All of the equipment used is serviced and maintained by FAA certified
riggers and the parachutes are packed by professionals under their supervision. The reserves are inspected repacked
every 180 days, even if unused (it's not just a good idea, it's the law). Our aircraft is required to be maintained
to the highest FAA standards, and we have asked the FAA to inspect our entire operation at least every six months to be
sure we are maintaining everything to the highest standards and to give us any additional input... At Skydive Surfcity, Santa Cruz,
your safety is the most integral part of your amazing experience.
