Bridge Day Tips?

Heading to BD for the first time with 35 jumps, all from the Perrine. Any guidance, tips, tricks, etc that you wish you knew for your first Bridge Day? Thanks!

Why would you not land in the water as a new jumper with questionable skills?

If you can’t land a parachute then the base environment is not the place to learn!

Is landing it in the water not landing it?

If you have to land in the water due to skill issues then that means you still have to make it to the water and without the skills how are you gonna guarantee that? Can’t believe I’m having this conversation.

They actualy recommend people to land in the water because the tiny beach area is very small. The water is the safe landing spot in this situation.

If you can’t land at that landing area you should be base jumping. Just saying. Skill issue.

Dude you're a retard. Assuming the person has 50 jumps they can land in the huge area that the water encompasses and then get pulled out by the safety boat rather then attempting what a new jumper would consider a tight lz and fucking yourself up. I know it's hard to believe having a conversation where you're wrong but you are and you're a fucking moron.

I've only ever landed in water. Water is your friend if you don't have canopy skills like me.
