See the country’s top
skydivers do their thing in
the air and on the ground!

This is the first time in the event’s history that it has taken place in the Western Cape. So hosts Skydive Robertson are really looking forward to bringing the country’s top skydivers – and a few International competitors – to Robertson.

See the action and judging in
real-time footage

Although all the action takes place in the air, judging for skydiving is done by using camera footage. People on the ground will be able to see the footage of just-completed jumps and watch the judges’ scores as each formation is correctly completed. This is very exciting for spectators who can see what is happening in the air, and also for the competitors.

The event will run at the Robertson Airfield.
