Razor's cute smile and warm personality make him a delight to be around. With over 14 years in the sport, over 7000 jumps, 130 plus base jumps, Razor has been known to occasionally land on things he shouldn't.  After a few confidence beers, he's unstoppable, on the dance floor and elsewhere.  A man of contradictions, his latest hobby is dirt bike riding, he is lead singer in the famous heavy metal band Seven Header and chooses to fill his down time with Scrabble on his i-phone.

Originally from Port Macquarie, Kip is a graduate of the New Zealand Skydiving Schools' Diploma of Skydiving and has blitzed 7500 skydives in 7 years, a massive effort.  Kip has come a long long way from his first position with us as packer and occasional slave boy (don't remind him, it's a time in his life he'd rather forget!).  He is now one of our most experienced instructors, has the best laugh at the drop zone and is a BASE jumper as well.  Kip spends his spare time building rocket ships, wrangling his one year old son, and fixing stuff (ah, to have a useful man around the house! Sigh).

We love this man; he makes us all feel good about ourselves. Both a skydiver and ex base jumper (wifey won't let him anymore now he's a Dad), this guy's an expert at controlled crash landings.  With an alter ego that matches that of Borat, Bowie is not often allowed out in public, in fact most of our newer staff have never even met him!  He has been known to scuba dive, sail boats and hang-glide, crash cars and drink irresponsible amounts of tequila.  Bowie is currently obsessed with model aeroplanes and helicopters and has a garage full of wreckages ("they'll fly again after I fix them, they will!").  He has two degrees and still cannot spell, occasionally snots himself when laughing and is a movie addict.  Looking after the boss is a full time job for most of the office staff at Skydive the Beach.

Robbie is one of our most experienced skydivers at Skydive the Beach. He has been jumping for 22 years and has upwards of 13,000 jumps. Robbie has been to 12 world meets and in 2009 was ranked 4^th in the world. Robbie says his greatest achievement is that he is "still alive"! Born in Lismore and grown in Lennox Head, this feisty carrot top likes dressing as a cow on the odd occasion (nothing to do with his upbringing apparently). Robbie holds an Instructor A licence and flies aeroplanes, hang-gliders, and parachutes at ultra-high speeds. Currently he's on the National Canopy Piloting team.

Not to be forgotten, Kim is the glue that holds all of our accounts together! Only seen a few days a week in the office (ah, the joys of being a working mother), Kim decides who has been naughty, who has been nice, and who deserves their pay this week. We are actually pretty glad that we don't see Kim too often, she has been known to regularly lead the office girls astray with her 'Chardy Thursdays', this results in a minimum amount of work being completed after the first bottle is opened. Lately she braved the skies for her first awesome jump and could be heard wondering why she left it so long.

Before he started with us 4 years ago Jimmy was pretty & polite, then he completed his AFF course and unfortunately turned into a skydiver. He fell in love with the sport after his side-kick Cam bought him a skydive for his birthday, Jimmy now has 1100 jumps to his name and rarely leaves the drop zone. If he’s not packing parachutes he is working as the self appointed marketing consultant, one day he might even finish his journalism degree. He can make a mean cup of tea, whistle really loudly and do impersonations; he’s also not a bad skydiver and recently took out the bronze medal at the NSW State Championships. He describes himself as “bubbly, quirky, enthusiastic and an all-round good friend with a heart of gold”, but we will always remember him as the kid who admitted on his first day "I love this job, I don't mind taking out the garbage or washing cupboards."

Kev is a family man who pays the bills with his adrenaline addiction.  He has over 13,000 jumps under his belt and has been in the sport an impressive 27 years, you are in experienced hands with this guy.  Both a carpenter and a plumber in his previous life, Kev likes to keep things simple when he’s not taking to the sky.  Bonsai plants and book reading round out the peaceful life of this big man who still has the ability to get into mischief when occasion knocks. 

Andy is a tandem instructor with 6000 jumps, he is also smart enough to fly a plane and quit BASE jumping while he was ahead (well got caught actually!).  Andy has been jumping sine he was 19 and is an AFF instructor with an Instructor B rating.  Like Bowie, he is a model aeroplane builder and flyer. Unlike Bowie, we reckon his would generally fly for more than 2 mins without crashing!

Annie is the calm, level head of the drop zone. Her years of experience nannying unruly children have made her more than qualified for keeping the drop-zone staff in line. Annie has been working in the skydiving world for over 3 years and survived 17 tandem jumps. She loves adventuring underwater for her thrills and has done over 50 scuba dives to date. Annie loves travelling and frolicking in the sun but she is a true grandma at heart. When she’s not at the drop zone you can find her scrapbooking, knitting, gardening or reading.

Ben claims he joined the sport because he wasn’t very good at anything else, but we know he’s a modest all-rounder. Ben has 4000 jumps to his name and during his 6 years skydiving has represented Australia twice in the ‘canopy piloting’ division of the sport. Before he started throwing himself out of a plane for a living he also had the brains to study environmental science at university. Ben is somewhat of a cosmopolite and prior to becoming an adrenalin junkie spent 4 years living in London as a barman and has been known to make (and consume) a tasty cocktail or 7.

Cam has tried his hand at almost every job at the drop zone. Over the past 4 years he has worked as Chief Dubber, GCO, driver and most recently parachute packer AKA lifesaver as he prefers to call it.  When Cam isn’t trying to run the drop zone by himself you’ll find him clowning around somewhere outdoors or adding to the 250 skydives he already has to his name. As a national competitor in Mountain Biking, Cam can often be found cruising the car park on his unicycle, showing off his skills to the ladies. Cam is a closet nerd and is currently studying to be a high school science teacher at uni. Despite all his achievements, he still claims his greatest accomplishment is teaching his bestie, and fellow packer, Jimmy how to swim. His feelings for Jimmy are quite possibly the best example of a bro-mance we have ever seen. He quotes: “I describe my relationship with Jimmy like this: Friendship is like peeing yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings."

Despite having a Bachelor of Business, this number cruncher has spent the last 20 years skydiving all over the world with over 10,000 jumps to his name. He has competed at both Australian and US National Championships. Despite his worldly experience and apparent intelligence, his humour seems to extend past ‘your mum’ jokes.

Chief Instructor Max runs the show with the military precision he gained from all his years in the army. He has a wicked sense of humour and unstoppable determination. Despite this Italian’s dedication to fitness he owns a bakery on the side and showers the manifest girls with baked treats every morning. 

Our dedicated driver Dean has come from driving extreme jet boats in New Zealand to man the wheel for us here at Skydive the Beach. He is mostly forgiven for being a kiwi and sporting his ‘All Blacks’ jersey every now and then. Loved by all the manifest girls for always helping out and of course his charming personality, when Dean isn’t at the drop zone he’s out fishing or doting on his baby boy. After surviving 7 jumps, Dean is planning to take to the skies by himself and complete his AFF later in the year.

With his infectious ‘happy-go-lucky’ personality and terrible Dad jokes, you can’t help but smile when Brad’s around. As a lover of 90’s hip hop , Toohey’s New and the Cronulla Sharks… it’s lucky he’s such a nice guy! With over 15 years of skydiving experience, Brad spends his spare time training for “swooping” competitions around the world.
