Southern Summer Jam is an annual skydiving event that takes place in the first weekend of March every year since 2010 at the New Zealand Skydiving School, Pudding Hill, Methven NZ.

Initially conceived as a memorial event for the late Hayden Rowan the event has grown rapidly, almost doubling in attendance each year and attracting skydivers from all over the world. With a Cessna Caravan on site, visits over the weekend from Mt Hutt Helicopters and Aoraki Hot Air Balloons, amazing load organisers, bad weather entertainment and great prizes, it is easy to see why.
