During our stay at Swakopmund Skydiving Club in Namibia, we have also trained and evaluated some of the instructors on the Static line system as they are practicing this method as well on student jumping. We have successfully completed this 3 days course as well and present the three new USPA S-L instructors:
Edward Techman – Francois Krös – David Botha
