Reserve Repack Workshop Sat July 26th with Roger

Sat, 26 Jul 2025
02:00 PM - 05:00 PM

The Club has asked Roger Stanford CFI from Skyout Paragliding to conduct a Reserve Re-Pack workshop on Sat  26th August at the Cromer Community Centre, 2pm-5pm. These workshops are highly regarded as a learning experience. The workshop will focus upon Round and Square reserves only.

With a little bit of theory and a lot of practical hands on, participants will be shown how to deploy and repack their reserve. Key points and activities covered will be:

  • the decision making process of when to throw their reserve
  • the technique of how to throw your reserve and handle your wing after the throw
  • actual throwing your reserve (from your own harness while hanging in a simulator)
  • laying out and safety checking your reserve
  • step by step folding and repacking your reserve back into its pouch and back into your harness

The idea of the Workshop is to give each participant the skills to be able to carry out this essential maintenance activity on their own. You will be buddied with another participant, taken through the steps above and then assist your buddy in the re-packing process.

To book a spot in this workshop you are required to purchase a ticket. The ticket price is $63 - NSWHPA has generously agreed to fund $30 per pilot bringing the cost to SPHGC members to only $33.   Non Members can attend at $63 , and if a SPHGC Member wants to repack 2 chutes it is also $63

Note that if you have two chutes to repack then the full cost of $63 needs to be paid for the second, please let us know and we can work out the payment.
