Indoor Surfing
Indoor windsurfing competition started in the Bercy Stadium, Paris in 1989, and now happens annually at a number of major European cities. A large arena is flooded and the wind provided by a row of huge electric fans. Slalom and speed trials are held, and jumping competitions also made possible with a purpose built ramp. The whole show is choreographed, with rock music, fireworks and all sorts of other madness to make it an excellent evening out.
