Munich Surfers Secretly Recreate Eisbach Wave Overnight Before Dismantling It

City inquiry into the wave’s disappearance after an October cleaning continues without any confirmed explanation.

Overview

  • Instagram videos on the Surf Club München account show a makeshift wooden ramp briefly restoring a surfable standing wave and a masked rider taking at least one run.
  • Municipal investigators, including specialists from Hamburg, have yet to determine why the Eisbach feature failed to return after routine cleaning.
  • The nighttime intervention was not permitted under rules governing alterations to the waterway, and surfing outside designated hours is also prohibited.
  • The improvised structure was taken down quickly, and by daytime the Eisbach had returned to a calm flow with no surfable wave.
  • As a stopgap for displaced riders, Surftown Hallbergmoos is offering Eisbach surfers one free session through November with proof of affiliation and ID.
