This weekend in Lake Elsinore, CA

Hurricane Heat Weekend brings two distinct endurance challenges in Southern California, offering a four-hour option and a twelve-hour option with very different demands. The 4-hour experience launches straight into fast teamwork, problem solving, and sustained movement across rugged terrain, calling for focus and adaptability from the opening evolution. The 12-hour format stretches deep into the night with longer evolutions, heavier loads, and mission-style tasks that test stamina and mindset when fatigue builds. Participants can expect strength-focused work that rewards precision, timed team assignments, heavy carries over sun-baked ground, and continuous movement through sand, rock, and rolling trails. Tactical tasks will require clear communication and mental composure, resilience drills are designed to create breakthroughs, and there are dedicated moments to lead and keep leading. Early Bird pricing is available at $59 for the 4-hour option and $99 for the 12-hour option. Commit early, prepare with intention, and arrive ready to go beyond prior limits.

Night jumps for licensed skydivers at Skydive Elsinore require a B-License or higher, or B-License qualification through completed water training and the canopy control proficiency card. Signups are handled in the office. Pricing per slot will be announced, block jumps are not permitted, and funds must be added to your account before sunset. If planning multiple jumps, ensure the full amount is on account before the sunset load departs. Attendance at the mandatory safety briefing after sunset is required, with the specific time to be announced, and anyone who misses it will not be allowed to jump. FAA rules require a light visible for at least three statute miles from canopy deployment through landing. Regular glow sticks do not meet that standard. A red glow stick on the chest strap is acceptable as an addition, but a brighter strobe facing backward must be used while under canopy until landing. If a strobe is needed, the Gold State Gear Store is arranging suitable options for night use.
