Overview
- On Christmas Day the standing wave reappeared after unknown individuals installed a ramp-like device, with a banner reading “Just Watch – Merry X‑Mas,” and surfers were observed riding it.
- Surf Club München announced on December 26 that it is dropping its time‑limited, scientifically supervised restoration trial, accusing the administration of an “administrative blockade.”
- The club says officials demanded full liability transfer, round‑the‑clock readiness, engineering proofs on the level of bridge or dam works, construction fencing, and even a surf ban during the test.
- The site remains officially closed following a fatal accident earlier this year, the legality of the new setup is unclear, and the city had not commented on the provisoric structure.
- City works cleared debris and sediment in October after which the wave stopped forming, past makeshift fixes have proven short‑lived, and the club says the dispute will now shift into the political arena.
