BURN Taupō 2025 with Dudders 🔥
A couple of weather days to kick things off meant seminars to start, but the crew more than made up for it when the winds backed off. The final day delivered, with an epic session shredding over the shores of Lake Taupō.
Big shout-out to Ryan Dudderidge for making the trip over and keeping the angle stoke high here in Aotearoa.🤩🪂
And a massive thank you🔥🤩🪂 to the New Zealand Parachute Federation / NZ Skydiving for the sponsorship that made this event possible.

And just like that, our annual Sky Cats Boogie is over for another year, and what an incredible event it was!
A massive shoutout to everyone who helped make this year’s boogie so epic.
First, the Funnell family, who make an event like this possible. With an incredible dropzone, aircraft, and dedicated sport-hangar facilities, they truly bring the boogie to life.
To the manifest legends Jess and Kellie, what a duo! They kept the days running smoothly and made manifesting an absolute dream.
To the entire TTS team working behind the scenes: Elad, the pilots, packers, drivers, and flight followers at the tandem end. Without your help and support, we simply couldn’t make this happen.
A huge thanks to Carlos for keeping an eye on landings, weather, and ensuring we all made it back safely.
To the tandem masters and jump staff at TTS. Thank you for putting up with our long, slow days throughout the event. We appreciate your patience… Maybe join us for some fun jumps next year?
Big love to the LOs, who kept everyone safe and made every jump super fun.
Shoutout to Ryan Brawley for the epic footage and day tapes, you sure do make us look good.
A huge thank you to our event sponsors, who helped make this event possible and memorable for everyone:
GJ Gardner, Cafe Lacus, Chiro Jacob, Triple D, MeeLoft NZ, FunJumpNZ, Photogear, Jyro, iFly Queenstown
And last but definitely not least, the sporties. You’re the ones who turn up and make events like this truly happen. Thanks for all your support and participation. We can’t wait to host Sky Cats 2026 and hope to see you there!
Day tapes will be online shortly 🪂
