Why Jumpers Choose Fin16

Your reserve is the last line of defense, so the rigger who packs it matters. Because Fin16 is run by an FAA Master Parachute Rigger and Designated Parachute Rigger Examiner, your gear is handled by someone who also tests and certifies other riggers.

In addition, every job is documented and logged on your data card. If we find a problem, you hear about it first, and nothing extra is done without your approval. Finally, the loft is right on the drop zone at Skydive Paraclete XP, so dropping off your rig is easy when you are already out jumping.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give Shauna 10 stars, I would. I have been benefiting from her expertise for several years now, and cannot recommend her enough. She knows her stuff, helps you understand your gear, and communicates a timeline around when different parts of your rig will need attention and what your options are for repair/replacing.

As I seek to understand my gear better, Shauna has patiently walked me through different parts of my equipment, showing me when things are routed, or positioned properly as opposed to when they are not, and the potential impact of each placement. It's really supported my understanding of my rig and helps to greatly reduce my "gear fear", increasing my confidence as a skydiver. Also, it's frankly delightful to watch her nerd out about her craft. There are things that I honestly wouldn't really care about, but she is so excited to share about them that I just can't help but get pulled into her enthusiasm and I end up learning something! Also- SHE is always learning something... she is constantly learning new ways to level up and it's really inspiring to watch her implement some new clever approach to solving some rigging puzzle.

She does great work, puts in the time to get it done, get it done correctly, and is also really dedicated to her craft. She loves what she does and it *shows*. Newer jumpers are gently shown how things *should* look, and never made to feel foolish. I feel honored that she works on my gear, because I know that she takes pride in her work, and it makes me feel good to know that she enjoys what she does. She's gone above and beyond each and every time I've ever utilized her services. I cannot recommend her enough. She's *THE* best!
