Munich Backs Trial to Restore Eisbachwelle With Conditional Return of Surfing

A February follow-up will address who should run the wave long term.

Overview

  • Mayor Dieter Reiter reported a breakthrough after a 90-minute meeting at City Hall with surfer groups and agencies.
  • Participants agreed to launch a project trial to test options for reinstating the Eisbach wave.
  • Surfing will resume during the trial under defined conditions set for safety and operations.
  • IGSM and Surfclub München will assume responsibility and liability, while the city conducts technical inspections and ensures 24/7 emergency reachability.
  • The stated goal is to restore and preserve a permanently surfable wave, with whether the city ultimately operates it still undecided.
