I have never jumped out of a perfectly good plane, but Simon Wade has saved my life many times! While I'm told Simon works on parachutes, I have hired his services for sail repair. Over the years I have brought many sailboat sails to Simon for repair. While I could ship or drive my sail repairs to the coast, to a reputable sail loft, Simon's repairs are top notch. Simon teaches a world famous parachute school, where people come from all over the world to learn his craft. He could have opened his shop anywhere in the world and he chose Boulder City, Nevada. His skills to keep skydiver's decent to a reasonable speed, also helps the boats I sail from falling apart in extreme weather. With wind speeds averaging around 25-35 knots on Lake Mead, it's the 70 knot gusts where Simon's skills are much appreciated. Simon knows his work can be the difference between life and death, this is true with sailing on the Lake as well. Thank you Simon! read more
