Overview
- A preliminary experiment using temporary wooden kickers produced an approximately three-meter green wave at the Eisbach site.
- The wave reverted to a white-water roll within minutes after the kickers were removed, indicating the need for a longer-lasting intervention.
- Hochschule München has filed a formal application to install a three-part wooden ramp and plans to begin the main trial as soon as next week.
- The ramp would stay in place for about three months with roughly two cubic meters of gravel placed downstream to encourage bed renaturation.
- The exact cause of the wave’s disappearance remains unclear after October streambed clearing by the city, though DIY nighttime ramp efforts briefly restored surfable conditions.
