What You’ll Learn

1. Inspection: Checking for dampness, debris, and line tangles after a season of flying.
2. The "S" Fold & Pack: Master the geometry of a clean, fast-opening canopy tailored for your specific deployment bag.
3. Locking Stows: Getting the tension just right so the lines release smoothly without a "bird's nest."
4. Harness Integration: Ensuring your bridle is routed correctly and your handle is seated for a clean, snag-free throw.

The Professional Edge: A reserve is a life-saving device. Regular repacks (typically every 6 months) are essential to prevent the fabric from "setting" or sticking, ensuring it inflates the moment it hits the airflow.

Spaces are limited to 20 ensure everyone gets enough floor space and individual instruction. Don't wait until you're in an emergency to wonder if your reserve is ready, come down to Kurnell and get it sorted with the pros.

Note: Only one ticket per member is permitted.
