- What's the Scoop on AFF? Get ready to join the ranks of licensed adrenaline junkies with Accelerated Freefall, or AFF, skydiving! Whether you're itching to take the plunge on your lonesome or tantalized by the idea of soaring through the skies solo, AFF is just the ticket. Tandem skydiving offers a taste of exhilaration, but joining the AFF Program will catapult you into a different stratosphere of pure, unbridled excitement!
What's the Scoop on AFF?
Accelerated Freefall is a meticulously designed, step-by-step program aimed at imparting essential skills to ensure competent and safe solo skydiving. The AFF Skydiving Program at Skydive Orange follows the United States Parachute Association's Integrated Student Program (ISP) guidelines that were cranked out right here at Skydive Orange! !
The AFF Skydiving Program includes a 6 to 8 hour classroom-style skydiving course (first jump course), 8 category jumps (A-H) that count towards the 25 jumps required to be an A-list skydiver, and a parachute packing class. After completing the AFF Skydiving Program, ticking off the requisite jumps, and fulfilling the A License Proficiency Card, you'll be awarded your skydiving "A" license like the bada$$ you are - officially earning the title of "licensed skydiver" - and ready to jump at the drop of a hat, or parachute, or whatever!
Why Spritz Your Life with AFF Skydiving?
1. It's Tick-Tock Efficiency
The top reason to venture into the AFF Skydiving world? It's the quickest and most efficient way to snag your skydiving certificate and become a skydiving speed demon!
If you've already had skydiving qualifications on the brain to get into the skydiving game, snag your killer license via the AFF Program incorporates everything you'll need to know and all the requirements for skydiving solo-style. Most skydiving hopefuls land their license within a month's time, depending on their chops and the weather, of course.
Once you're on the student programme, you must bag at least one jump every 30 days to stay sharp.
2. Limitless Learning Curve
Skydiving? Just the beginning of an endless world of new secrets to uncover! Mastering skydiving is just the tip of the iceberg.
Once you conquer skydiving on your own terms, you can then do it with your mates, maybe try out some aerial formations, or switch up your freefall poses (belly, back, head-up, head-down, and oh-so-dynamic freeflying). The more jumps you log, the more experiences you'll gain and the further down the skydiving rabbit hole you'll go!
Endless discoveries range from wingsuit antics, canopy piloting, angle flying, skydiving competitions, canopy relative work (CRW), base jumping, and more - your horizon of opportunities will never run dry! Skydiving offers up a fresh challenge every time, keeping the adventure sizzling and the thrill alive - which is why skydiving is a lifelong pastime with some seasoned skydivers logging decades and thousands of jumps!
3. Feeling Like a Freaking Hero
Who honestly doesn't love scoring that sweet achievement feeling? Skydiving provides the perfect blend of pure excitement and accomplishment.
Sure, skydiving can be a challenging beast, but nobody said reaching for the stars was easy! The AFF program will test you in ways you've never been tested before. Not only is skydiving physically demanding, but it can also take a toll mentally. Conquering your fears and marching on towards your dreams despite the challenges? Hell yeah! You'll feel amazing each time you face and vanquish a hurdle and won't be able to wipe that smug grin off your face for days 🤪
A triumphant spirit born from skydiving can help you tackle other daunting tasks head-on, propelling you forward in life!
4. A Welcome Escape from Boringville
We all know how monotonous everyday life can be - work, school, bills, traffic - BORING! Sometimes you just need a breather to disconnect, relax, and recharge. Skydiving offers a healthy way to bounce out of everyday life's grind.
When you're floating high in the sky, freefalling at 120 mph - miles from the daily grind - all your concerns swiftly evaporate. Because when you're among the clouds, nothing else matters except your senses – your freedom – your existence!
Even post-jump, the thrill will linger on, empowering you with a new perspective on your situation.
5. Join the Cool Kids Club!
Skydiving isn't just cool - it's the gateway to an awesomely diverse community of fascinating individuals who share a deep passion for leaping out of perfectly good planes!
AFF skydiving opens the door to an amazing community of people from all walks of life. Regardless of age, occupation, athletic ability, political beliefs, ethnicity, relationship status, religious leanings, gender identity, or sexual orientation - everyone is welcome! Skydiving brings people together based on a common interest – the love of freefalling!
