Advanced Canopy Course – Building Speed

Course led by David Nubo

Develop speed safely. Transition with control.

This one-day course focuses on the fundamentals of straight-line speed building and managing transitions between different canopy inputs. You'll learn how to apply speed-generating techniques while maintaining control, timing, and recovery options throughout each maneuver.

You’ll learn how to:

• Use the surge technique to increase speed without diving

• Transition between surge → rear risers → toggles with smooth timing

• Introduce front riser input following a surge for controlled acceleration

• Understand and apply flight cycle timing for consistent landings

• Evaluate altitude loss and energy management using GPS and altimeter data

Perfect for:
Skydivers with 200+ jumps who want to explore controlled speed development and input transitions — with a focus on safety, structure, and consistency and are going to later build speed in turns.

By the end of this course, you’ll:
✅ Understand how to generate and manage speed
✅ Improve awareness of altitude, energy, and recovery timing
✅ Gain the tools to push progression without pushing limits
