About Skydive Robertson

 

The Western Province Sport Parachute Club was established in 1972 on Modderfontein Farm just outside Citrusdal. In January 2007 the Club moved away from it's Citrusdal home, and is currently operating from Robertson. The Club is a registered member of the Association of Dropzone Operators (ADZO), which in turn is affiliated with the Parachute Association of SA (PASA). It is a sports club which is owned and operated by its members on a volunteer basis. A Committee is elected on an annual basis and serves voluntarily to ensure the smooth and safe operation of the club.

Over the years the club has strived to promote excellence in the sport of skydiving. From the first stumbling attempts at CReW back in the day, to the appearance of two homegrown skydivers in the skysurfing event at the International X-Games, we've always been keen to test the new disciplines and perfect the old ones.

Club members meet every Thursday evening from 8pm at the clubhouse of the Milnerton Surf Lifesaving Club on Woodbridge Island. Drop in to see the latest footage from the dropzone or just socialise with club members to get more information on skydiving.

Staff

The club is staffed entirely by club members. These people are remunerated nominally, to cover their costs, but their primary reward is the ability to share and promote the sport they love. Many jumpmasters and instructors started their skydiving careers at Citrusdal and have progressed through the various experience and competency levels there. Others have come from across the country - and even the world, constantly bringing in fresh perspectives and new ideas. All our duty instructors and jumpmasters are Parachute Association of SA (PASA) rated and rigourously conform to the Manual of Procedures (MOPs).

Our commitment:

  • To provide the necessary training, instruction, facilities and equipment to enable those interested to gain experience and recreation in sport parachuting
  • To promote sport parachuting in all its forms in the Western Cape
  • To promote the greatest possible safety and care in sport parachuting
  • To associate and affiliate with clubs of a similar nature and to encourage unity and goodwill among all persons interested in sport parachuting
