posted Nov 12th, 2025 - The DeLand Norgies have been a part of NSL News coverage since 1995 when the original lineup (Lise Aune/Nansen, Pal Kolbenstvedt, Carl-Erik Tuv, Torstein Valen) attended their first outdoor world championship. They started with a 4th place in 1995 and a 6th place in 1997 before the same original lineup won three consecutive FAI bronze medals in 1999, 2001 and 2003.

The team name included Skydive DeLand, as they spent most of their winters in the same time period in Florida, where owner Bob Hallet welcomed them to their winter home every year. Three of the team members are still active in 4-way, even though the visits in DeLand have become rare. They still competed outdoors at the national championship in 2023 without any previous winter training.

The original lineup completed their last competition at the national indoor championship last year, before former NMP PCH HayaBusa member Roy Janssen took Lise Aune/Nansen's slot, and only Pal Kolbenstvedt, Carl-Erik Tuv and Torstein Valen continued with Roy Janssen as the player-coach. However, Carl-Erik Tuv still visited Skydive DeLand as a coach when his daughter Christiane Wilhelmine Sørfjord Tuv continued outdoor winter training with her 4-way Women team Thyra. He even competed with Teiwaz at the Shamrock Showdown 2024 and ended up right behind Thyra on the AAA Class leaderboard. His DeLand Norgies have not jumped from planes at outdoor events since July 2023.

Norgies at the British Indoor Open 2025

---

The new lineup with Roy Janssen have only attended indoor events since Lise Aune/Nansen retired from her outside center slot. They posted their highest indoor average (22.9) as a guest team at the British Indoor Nationals 2024. Player-coach Roy Janssen even traveled to Norway for the national indoor championship in March this year.

New national team Agera won the duel between the former and the current national 4-way champions by 15 points after eight rounds (187 - 172) in Norway. The new Norgies lineup made plans for the next British indoor championship, which was once again open for guest teams and scheduled to take place this month at the same place in France as in 2024, Weembi Lille.

Player-coach Roy Janssen had actually two team assignments at Weembi Lille last week. He finished in 1st place with the Belgian/French/British combination of the Weembi Slow Rollers, and he was also his own opponent with the Norgies, who took the 3rd place on the Open Class leaderboard. NFTO in 2nd place was actually the winner of the British indoor championship title, and Kairos won the British silver medals behind the Norgies. Mimic in 8th place were the next eligible British 4-way team and won the bronze medals. The Norgies increased their previous record average from 22.9 to 24.0 behind NFTO.
