With back-to-back weekends of world-class competition, the championships invite Australia’s top indoor flyers to compete in speed, skill, creativity, and teamwork—all inside a skydiving simulator that mimics the sensation of freefall.
Indoor skydiving, also known as wind tunnel skydiving or air tunnel skydiving, is one of the fastest-growing sports in Australia. Using powerful vertical wind tunnels, flyers experience the pure sensation of flight—without jumping out of an aircraft.
For first-timers, it’s a safe and accessible way to try skydiving in a controlled setting. For professionals, it’s a competitive art form. And for everyone watching? It’s flat-out amazing.
Whether you’re looking for indoor things to do in Melbourne or Perth, want to see what the buzz around indoor flying is all about, or just love dynamic sports—you’re in for a gravity-defying treat.
Some of Australia’s best indoor flyers will compete across a range of disciplines and skill levels. From junior solo routines to advanced 4-way vertical formation skydiving, every moment is packed with athleticism and awe-inspiring control.
