ASG, San Diego, CA. Lines: 12 Im glad to see some interest in sky diving on the net. Im kind of new to the sport and I'd like to hear some comments about other DZ's. My "home" zone is the San Diego Air Sports Center. The weather is great so we almost never have any problem getting altitude.(12,500) This place is kind of small but it is about the only DZ within reasonable distance from San Diego. I saw a posting from Corvallis (I believe). Where is your DZ? Do you have much trouble with the weather? I can just see it ""Well, we got altitude now where's the f___ing DZ."" How about some comments on gear. My main is a Maverick (Glide Path) and I use a Northern Lite container. The cannopy is great but the container is only so-so. I would to hear comments [and or] recomendations on other types.
