After much deliberation, and building the largest PC district, which is arguable one of the best canopy piloting leagues in the world, AND after 5 long years of paying it forward to the swooping community...... Chris Hayes has decided to hand over the reins of the Florida Canopy Pilots Association.

I think I speak for everyone involved when I say "Thank you Chris!" This league has grown up to be the premiere canopy piloting league, dare I say it... in the world. Every CPC National Champion has come this league. Eight of the top ten at the 2007 World cup were from Florida. This is where it's all happening. Last year we had a member who flew down from New York to attend the meets, and the rumor has it that there will be more members coming from in from around the US this season as well.

I've volunteered to step up and do my best to pick up where Chris left off and keep our league growing. Overall there will be little changes to the formats of our meets for the upcoming season.
