Case studies

Wherever you're building, there's a venue out there that's already proven it works.

A group of people sit at tables watching a person surf on an indoor artificial wave. The scene is lively, with drinks on the tables and a large sign in the background reading THIS IS.

Proof is in the Water

FlowRider turns a venue into a destination.

Surf House Helsinki
Proving a FlowRider can anchor a standalone lifestyle venue — indoors, year-round, anywhere in the world.

The key to success was that we could fill almost every hour of every day of the week with different types of clients,” co-founder Janne Miikkulainen explains.

What This Makes Possible

AN ALL-HOURS REVENUE MODEL

Mornings bring regulars in for a session, midday brings corporate meetings paired with lunch and a surf show, afternoons fill with birthday parties, and evenings bring riders and spectators settling in at the restaurant.

Customer & Corporate Events

Performed by elite riders drawn from Surf House’s own competition circuit, the surf show has become the moment that reliably makes a corporate event memorable.

SPECTATORS AS THEIR OWN REVENUE SEGMENT

Not every guest comes to ride. Many come to sit under the palm trees, order a drink, and watch, an audience Surf House built for intentionally, not as an afterthought.

A COMMUNITY BUILT FROM NOTHING

Before Surf House Helsinki opened, Finland had no flowboarding community. Now it has one, with a VIP membership program that’s sold hundreds of memberships and a Flow Team drawn from its own riders.

A YEAR-ROUND BEACH IN A COUNTRY WITHOUT ONE

Four floors below a Helsinki shopping mall, the venue holds a steady 80°F with real sand and palm trees, giving guests a beach experience that doesn’t depend on Finland’s short summer.
