Over 220 LBS
Heavier passengers make a tandem instructor's day a little harder and additional weight also increases the cost of maintaining our equipment. As long as you are reasonably proportioned, we can take tandems over 220 lbs by special arrangement. Below are the overweight surcharges (fully clothed) and prices for a tandem skydive without video or still pictures. All tandem reservations in the following weight ranges, please verify by email (skydive@cfw.com) or call us at (703) 759-3483 a couple days before your appointment verifying that we can accommodate you as planned. We can usually take up to 280-285 pounds (about 125kg) jumper's weight on a tandem skydive with the above overweight fees. Our weight capability varies with our tandem instructor availability since it depends on their weight too. For your safety, we will not exceed the equipment's rated weight limits.
