Skydiving Beach Boogie 2013

Feel your spirit soar as you experience a Nuevo Vallarta resort destination where you are free to skydive, relax, eat, love and explore.

From first-time skydivers to the pros, SkyDiveMex announces their Beach Boogie 2013 in Riviera Nayarit from February 14 until the 24th.

Skydivers over Banderas Bay

The Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta is proud to be the base of operations for this event as the drop spot, with all landing and loading of skydivers.

From the packing area, there will then be a 15 minute ride to the skydiving airport to the airplane to skydive.

This is a beach boogie, each and every jump will be landing on the beach in front of Hard Rock Hotel & Spa.

Packages are available for the entire ten day event, or you can opt for your choice of participation.

A skydive novice? Try the Tandem Jump. A tandem jump is a great way to experience the thrill of skydiving while under close supervision of an experienced instructor.

SkyDiveMex skydiving operation has selected only the very best instructors, latest equipment, great locations and obviously some of the finest weather available year round.

After a short briefing you and your instructor will get on the plane, the aircraft will climb to 13,000 feet over some spectacular scenic landscapes. After exiting the plane, you and your instructor will freefall for almost one minute.

Although you will have the sensation of being on your own, you will be safely connected over 4 points to your instructor, and after you open the parachute, the instructor will offer you guidance to fly the parachute together and land safely back on earth.

SkyDiveMex operates only state-of-the-art aircraft. You are the future of skydiving, welcome to our thrilling sport!

Organizer, Adam Finer from Pacific Paddle remarked: “Race number 2 will add some new excitement to the event with a cash purse up for grabs in the Watermans Challenge, which will consist of a swim, paddle and run. $3000 pesos are on the line, so the main event will be stacked with top athletes of many different disciplines!

The event will be headquartered at El Barracuda, a popular seafood restaurant located in Puerto Vallarta’s Camarones beach, right beside the Buenaventura Hotel. The location will provide spectators with great views and delicious food right in front of all the race action. Raffles tickets will be sold with proceeds going to the Mexican National SUP Team in an effort to raise funds to send them to the ISA Games in PERU this coming February.
