Standup Surfing

Whether you are just starting out in skydiving or have been doing it for some time, it is always fun to try new tricks and standup surfing is one that is the very most fun to try. To attempt standup surfing, you must first be able to hold a standup position while in freefall mode on your own. You can then attempt to try it on someone’s back or belly, whichever gives you the most kicks!

The hardest part about completing a standup surfing position is to get on the platform, which would be your partner. The important thing is that when you start out in position, you are both belly-down with the surfer about 3 feet above the platform. Once you are ready to complete the position, the platform can gently spread their arms and legs and point them up while the surfer points their toe until it hovers above the point of the back or belly that they want to maintain the position. They can then slowly allow the rest of their body to enter the platform’s gurgle.
