What Is Indoor Windsurfing?
At its simplest form, indoor windsurfing is nearly identical to conventional windsurfing. The equipment used for the sport is the same. Each windsurfer who participates uses a board, sail, mast and harness. The primary difference is in the manner in which the windsurfers are propelled. Outside, they use the wind to move their boards, gain speed and perform tricks. Inside, the wind is generated by massive turbines. These turbines are typically 2 meters wide and can simulate winds that reach 30 knots. Windsurfers descend a ramp into an enormous pool. They compete in tournaments where each participant is judged on speed, form and their performance of a number of tricks.
