Overview
- The city directed firefighters using a crane to dismantle the ramp and clear all installed devices, returning the Eisbach to its pre-Christmas state without a surfable wave.
- Surf groups denounced the teardown as a confrontation and said the dispute will now shift into political arenas.
- Organizations including Surf Club München say they quit the coordinated, science-backed restoration over conditions that required assuming liability and costs, on-call duties, and high-level technical proofs.
- Officials described the recent installations as unauthorized, and local reporting notes possible fines of up to €50,000 for those responsible.
- The wave stopped forming after an October riverbed cleanup by the municipal building authority, and the exact hydraulic cause remains unclear.
