Saturday Night, the beach party @ Vega Baja Beach

Saturday Night, the beach party!

The last night of my stay here at the boogie has come. To selebrate and to close up the boogie they´d arranged a party at the beach. With a DJ, playing music all night long, free food and beers from Medalla. A raffel, with alot of prices to almost everyone from all of the sponsors. I did not win a thing, by the way.

And as a tradition one of the skydivers attending the boogie, who also is an iceartist, created something out of a huge block of ice. Appertently he does this on every boogie he attends, with a new sculpture every time. And when it´s finished he saws a hole through it and then you pour the Rum through it and one person drinks it. An ice shot of Rum through an ass, cool! The rum is never gone!

So this was it! I had the best time ever at the boogie and I´m absolutely coming back next year, but not alone. I´ll bring a bunch of swedish skydivers with me then, this boogie is far to good to miss.

I had to leave the party quite early because I had to get up at 5am to go to the airport. I had 3 flights devided into 20 hours before i would reach my next destination. First to Miami, connected flight to Cancun, Mexico and finally hopefully arriving in Havanna, Cuba!

Buenos Noches todos.....

Pura Vida Skydiving @ Vega Baja

Here´s some pictures from the skydiving that also took place at the boogie ;-)

It was 4 days of skydiving. 3 planes - Super Otter, 200 jumpers, two landing areas, the beach or at the dropzone. The beach was like a 3 min drive from the dropzone. If you wanted to land there there was a shuttle waiting for you to take you back to the DZ, lovely!

The landing area on the DZ wasn´t the best but that was because of the runway and the landing area was a forest a couple of weeks before the boogie. They had to move the location of the boogie, just some weeks before because of some administration problems. So they worked and worked, cut down trees, dug up the roots and made it to a runway in like 10 days. Amazing!

That´s skydiving spirit!

The manifest was without doubt the best I´ve seen. How the managed to organize everything so smooth and easy, without any, as far as I experienced anyway, trouble at all.

They were always so happy, never stressed, and got everything right. A very good interacción between the manifest and the load organizers. As soon as something changed, like the landing pattern or the landing direction, we knew about it right away. BIG UP FOR THEM!

The mentality is very different from a normal jump day back in Sweden. Here´s no stress, not many people actually care how many jumps they do a day, the just jump when they feel like it, packs in a normal pace, and just hang around mostly, enjoying the sweet feeling of RASTA!

I managed to do 18 jumps myself including one high altitude jump at 21.000 feet, awsome!

Look, enjoy and long for next years Free Fall Festival in Puerto Rico

More pictures will appear at www.sweetliving.se shortly.

Be Cool, Be a Skydiver!
