“It feels so right and it cuts like a knife..”

River surfing is the sport of surfing either standing waves, tidal bores or upstream waves in rivers. Despite being many hundreds of kilometres from the nearest ocean, Munich has a reputation as a surfing hotspot, offering one of Europe’s best waves. The Bavarian capital is the birthplace of river surfing. The city has been the center of surfboard riding on a stationary wave since the early 1970s..
