Cliff jumping is jumping from a cliff onto a soft spot, preferably a river. You start at fifteen feet and work your way up to greater heights. You will be taken to your first launch site where you will be taught the correct techniques for jumping and entering the water correctly. As soon as your technique is good enough, you will be taken to the next level of jumping.
You must be able to swim. You will need a swimming costume, a towel, and a long sleeved sweatshirt. Freespirits will provide you with a wetsuit, wetsuit boots, cagoul, buoyancy aid, and helmet.
