What Windoor Realfly does

Windoor Realfly is a privately held Spanish operator of indoor skydiving wind tunnels and an adjacent surf simulator business, founded with the opening of its first facility at Empuriabrava (Girona) in November 2012 and expanded with a second tunnel at Cornellà de Llobregat (Barcelona) in December 2019. The company serves individual leisure customers (families, tourists, ages 4–99+), corporate clients (Lenovo, IBM, Red Bull, Omega, Securitas Direct among disclosed logos), celebration groups (birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette), and a community of experienced indoor skydivers ("proflyers"), reporting more than 30,000 happy flyers per year at a 4.8/5 customer rating.

The core product is a vertical-axis wind tunnel experience that simulates freefall skydiving (equivalent to a jump from 4,000 meters, 50–55 seconds per flight) using ISG (Indoor Skydive Global) German technology capable of 170 km/h, with a fully glass flight chamber, patented ventilation and cooling systems, and carbon fans. The product portfolio is tiered: standard WIND2 introductory flights (€36.90–€89.90 per person), extended group sessions (WIND15min at €375, WIND30min private at €999), birthday/corporate packages, and a Proflyer vertical selling hourly fly time (€499–600/h), coaching (€599–695/h), and bulk accommodation bundles. A wholly-owned sub-brand, WaveClub, operates a seasonal Flowrider artificial wave surf simulator at Empuriabrava (July–August).

The business model is direct-to-consumer via two dedicated booking websites (barcelona.windoor-realfly.com and empuriabrava.windoor-realfly.com) supplemented by a dedicated corporate events sales channel (managed by Eva Loch), on-site F&B and merchandise, and gift voucher sales. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time ticket and per-session payments; the Proflyer membership program is the closest analog to a recurring revenue model. Marketing relies on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TripAdvisor, multilingual SEO, and visible enterprise customer logos. The company is private, discloses no funding rounds, and operates with 11–50 employees.

Core offering

Windoor Realfly operates vertical-axis indoor skydiving wind tunnels at two Spanish facilities (Barcelona and Empuriabrava) using ISG German technology, simulating freefall skydiving experiences for individual flyers, groups, celebration parties, corporate events, and experienced proflyers. The company also operates a seasonal WaveClub Flowrider artificial surf wave at Empuriabrava, and earns ancillary revenue from on-site merchandising and food and beverage.

Product overview

Windoor Realfly operates as a dual-facility indoor skydiving (wind tunnel) operator offering core vertical wind tunnel experiences where participants float in controlled upward airflow simulating skydiving freefall. The company offers two facilities in Spain: Windoor Empuriabrava (opened 2012, the first in Spain) and Windoor Barcelona (opened 2019 at RCDE Stadium). The product portfolio consists of the core wind tunnel flight experience supplemented by tiered packages (WIND2 for standard flights, WIND30min/WIND15min for extended group sessions), celebration packages (birthday, bachelor/bachelorette), professional/proflyer programs (fly time rental, coaching, membership), and the Learn to Fly summer course. An adjacent experience, WaveClub, offers surf simulator (Flowrider) sessions at Empuriabrava during summer months. Both facilities feature ISG (Indoor Skydive Group) German technology wind tunnels capable of 170 km/h wind speed. Additional revenue streams include merchandising, on-site bar/catering services, and corporate team building event packages with meeting rooms and branded experiences.

Emerging players

• Wavegarden: Spanish wave technology company developing artificial wave pools and surf lagoons. Adjacent to Windoor's WaveClub Flowrider offering as both serve the artificial-wave surfing experience market, though at a different scale and price point.
• FlowRider (WhiteWater / Wave House): Provider of stationary FlowRider sheet-wave surf simulators installed at waterparks, cruise ships, and standalone venues. Comparable to Windoor's WaveClub operationally and a potential technology partner/competitor for the surf-sim experience line.

Direct peers

• Aerodium: Latvian-origin vertical wind tunnel technology developer and operator with its own facilities. Comparable on both the technology side (vertical wind tunnel engineering) and operator side (consumer/proflyer experience delivery).
• Bodyflight: Dutch indoor skydiving operator with wind tunnel facilities offering consumer flights, group sessions, and proflyer coaching. Comparable European operator using similar go-to-market: web-based booking, packaged experiences, and proflyer community programs.
• Gravity Indoor Skydiving: UK-based indoor skydiving operator running vertical wind tunnel experiences for consumers and trained flyers. Comparable on product, pricing structure, and target audience (tourists, corporate groups, proflyers).
• Flystation: Swedish indoor skydiving operator with vertical wind tunnel facilities serving consumer flyers and proflyer training. Directly comparable European operator with similar product tiers, group packages, and proflyer coaching programs.
• Windobona Indoor Skydiving: Berlin-based indoor skydiving operator running a vertical wind tunnel for consumer experiences and proflyer training. Directly comparable European competitor with overlapping customer segments (tourists, corporate events, experienced flyers).
• iFLY Worldwide: The largest global indoor skydiving chain with multiple vertical wind tunnel facilities across the US, Europe and Asia. Operates the same core product — paid indoor skydiving experiences for consumers, groups, and proflyers — and competes head-to-head with Windoor for tourism traffic and proflyer training demand.
• Hurricane Factory: European indoor skydiving chain with multiple wind tunnel locations across the Czech Republic and other markets. Competes with Windoor for European proflyer training demand and tourism bookings.

Others

• Skydive Empuriabrava: Outdoor skydiving center co-located at the Empuriabrava campus where Windoor's first tunnel sits. Not a direct competitor but a symbiotic ecosystem partner — Windoor's proflyer segment relies on the outdoor dropzone's skydiving community for training demand.
