Munich
Munich is not located near the coast, so it doesn’t offer natural waves for surfing. However, Munich offers a unique standing river wave surf experience that is world famous. Two Eisbach waves located in the English Garden – one of the largest inner-city parks in the world (larger than Central Park in New York or Hyde Park in London) – and Floßlände first established “riversurfing” and then made it respectable which is the reason why Munich is considered the Hawaii of river surfers. In addition, Jochen Schweizer offers a perfect indoor city wave nearby and in 2024 SURFTOWN® MUC is expected to open its doors: a 20,000 sqm artificial surfing facility just outside Munich IN HALLBERGMOOS that is unique in Europe.
Intermediate Level
The two fundamental moves in surfing—the bottom-turn and the cutback—are what make a surfer at this level. On a shoulder-high wave, an Intermediate surfer is able to tilt the board and launch themselves without incident. The bottom-turn, which is surfing’s primary turning maneuver, is regarded as the sport’s foundational move since it allows for riding waves with an open face. The cutback is the second most crucial turn. It enables the surfer to avoid getting caught in the slowest region, known as the “shoulder of the wave,” and return to the wave’s energy source. An intermediate surfer knows how to duck dive, maintain a linear trajectory on the surf line, and how to bail out without hurting himself and others in the process. In addition, an intermediate level surfer knows how to read surf reports and plan his session(s) in advance.
