"There's a place in Nashua, New Hampshire, you might not know about, but it's one of the most exhilarating places you will ever go. Imagine an adventure center so big that it houses an indoor skydiving center, indoor surfing facility, a 24-foot rock climbing wall, a fish pipe (tell you more in a sec), and a café," the 97.5 WOKO says.


"No plane nor parachute? It's not a problem, because SkyVenture has a state-of-the-art vertical wind tunnel. According to skyventurenh.com, the wind tunnel "completely immerses visitors into the world of high adventure sky diving, without ever having to pack a parachute, pull a ripcord, or jump out of a perfectly good airplane".

"The SkyVenture facility is home to North America's largest indoor surf stream. With a 32-foot continuous wave, all ages can learn to surf or practice their surfing skills at this giant "Surf's Up" indoor wave, using real surfboards. You can easily transfer your skills to the real waves in the ocean."

"There’s no better antidote to the day-to-day grind than getting out with your friends or family for a little adventure. That said, many of us are not exactly in the market for extreme thrills like jumping out of airplanes. Fortunately, here in New Hampshire you can experience the incredible feeling of floating weightless in the air without any of the fear or danger of actual skydiving. SkyVenture in Nashua is the place to go to experience the thrill of skydiving without any of the fear," the Only In Your State says.


"Simply suit up, step into the vertical wind tunnel, and lean into the wind with the assistance of the instructor. Soon you'll be floating comfortably, with no jumping or falling required.


"It's amazingly fun to spin around, contort yourself into different positions, and even lay back, all while experiencing the sensation of weightlessness. You can choose two or four minutes in the tunnel, or go in with a group for a longer block of time to share amongst yourselves."

"So categorized, SkyVenture is the best small adventure park in New England. It’s located in Nashua, New Hampshire, just a 45-minute drive from Boston. Unlike F1 Boston, which is for adults with a driver’s license, and unlike most fun parks, which are only for kids, both kids and adults can have a great time at SkyVenture," the eventinsider.com says.


"Also, unlike Great Wolf Lodge (formerly CoCo Key Resort, an all-indoor, all-weather water park), SkyVenture features unique, bucket list activities that you just can’t get elsewhere — at least not so conveniently and safely. You can go “skydiving” without leaving the room in their vertical wind tunnel, try surfing in their static indoor wave pool, go rock climbing, and tumble in a giant plastic bubble called the Fish Pipe Water Slide. It’s just large enough that you could spend an entire day there.


"You go into the wind tunnel in groups, and they’ll take kids as young as three years old who are toilet trained, or adults up to the 80s. The experience isn’t as scary as you’d think. It really is just a giant fan beneath you blowing you up. And your instructor enters the wind room with you, keeping you calm, and adjusting your body posture with hand signals, or physically if needed. They let you do it twice for two minutes each."

"Have you ever wanted to try surfing but can't get to the west coast and don't want to brave the cold east coast waters? SkyVenture has you covered with the largest indoor surfing facility in North America, the Q97.9 says.



"The wave machine can be modified for all skill levels so it's the perfect way to learn and finally cross out surfing from your bucket list.


"If heights aren't really your thing but you're also curious about the skydiving experience, SkyVenture has the perfect solution with their indoor vertical wind tunnel. No plane, no parachute just you floating in the tunnel. And since you have to be 18+ to skydive, this is a great opportunity for the kids!"

"American Wave Machines, Inc. (AWM), the leading wave technology innovation company, announced the debut of the world's largest standing wave surfing machine, the SurfStream® model SS5032, in Nashua, New Hampshire. This will be the first multi-sport venue with surfing and skydiving," the official Press Release says.

"Called Surf's Up New Hampshire, it's part of an expansion of SkyVenture NH, a profitable massive indoor skydiving venue. The all-season indoor SurfStream® will be connected to the skydiving facility and features a retractable glass roof for seasonal open air operation, glass walls for enhanced spectator viewing, surfside lounging, and a café. 


"With programmable controls and modular inserts, the SurfStream® model SS5032 creates multiple wave types in one machine. For experienced surfers the signature wave is the 5' barreling wave with 28' of face to carve on. This set of wave modules can be assembled in both right and left breaks accommodating goofy and regular foot riders. For broad appeal, the system also features training and intermediate waves which operate at lower power. Due to this versatility, owners Laurie and Rob Greer have developed a robust pay-for-surf revenue model including interscholastic surf team packages to help develop local high school surf teams."
