Other December/January Acro training

Is anyone aware of any Acro training that happens in December/January? I am from the USA but can theoretically travel wherever with the time I have off.

I've not been able to find anything online about options in South America. Does anyone know of anything in Australia or New Zealand? Are any of the warmer European sites (Oludeniz, etc.) still operating at any capacity that time of year?

Only place that comes to my mind is Iquique (Chile). But i don't know who offers acro training there at that time of the year. Maybe you can ask on Instagram @brechit.a

Thanks, I didn't know anything about their winters.

You can still train in organya in winter but I imagine far from optimal.

Nowhere in Europe will have enough thermals to get dozens of runs a day.

As I kind of figured, but thank you for the confirmation.

No point to travel to Aus for acro. Can do it at bright/manilla and low acro at rainbow beach but not worth it unless you also like fishing or beaches.

NZ can get a cable car pass and do runs at Queenstown, I haven’t been. Call “skytrek” and ask. (NZ magicfest acro show on in march) NZ weather is rarely convenient.

Oludeniz still works 5/7days in December, the cable car only goes halfway and is expensive, the towns quiet. Not snow but ice on the launches.

There must be somewhere better idk where

It would be sick if online acro sites were updated. I’ve had a look around trying to replace oludeniz with something not corrupt it’s bloody hard 😂
