Did You Know?
Unexpected Location
The Eisbachwelle is a stationary wave located in the middle of Munich, Germany, making it a unique urban surfing spot far from any ocean.
Always Surfing Season
Due to the constant flow of the Eisbach river, the wave is always present and can be surfed 365 days a year, even in winter (though wetsuits are highly recommended!).
Man-Made Phenomenon
The wave is not naturally occurring but is an artificial phenomenon created by a concrete step in the riverbed and the strong current of the Eisbach, a small side arm of the Isar river.
Global Recognition
While a local secret for many years, the Eisbachwelle has gained international fame, attracting surfers and spectators from all over the world to witness this unusual urban sporting event.
