This was too cool not to share:

"Wind Games are an annual tournament for indoor skydiving, sponsored by Windoor, a manufacturer of vertical wind tunnels. The event first took place in 2014 and as of 2017 has always been held at Windoor’s facility in Empuriabrava, Spain.

Wind Games includes solo, two-person, 4-person, dynamic, freestyle and speed events, all in a vertical wind tunnel."

Looks like great fun, though perhaps not just after breakfast.

I’m not one for sports, but I’ve been saying that wind dancing should be an Olympic sport ever since I first saw someone do it. I guess this competition shows that there are steps in that direction.
