I've seen people surf an artificial wave on a cruise ship (YouTube) but seeing folks river surf in…read moreMunchen, was really mind blowing. Eisbach-Welle (ice river waves) had a lot of people queuing on this day and the water is cold and murky - nothing like surfing on Waikiki (I highly recommend this BTW). They looked like they were very disciplined, courteous of one another, and most of all - having a lot of fun. I don't have a thick wet suit and I don't think there is a surf board rental shop here in all of Germany!! So, I think these folks are local and they brought their own surf boards. If there was a rental shop close by, I'd probably give this a try but there are no lifeguards here. Perhaps, they all just look after each other?? FYI, if you haven't surfed, it's like sledding down a hill, it's fun surfing the wave, but to get back out to ride the wave, it's really tiring. But you don't experience that here because it's a standing wave. After a wipe out, the surfers basically went to the bank of the river and back into the queue on either side. After spending some time in Old Town, walk over here and check them out, it's an endless way to check out great form and to dream of being back in Hawaii...

Eisbach-Welle is a popular spot for surfing in the heart of Munich! Located at one end of the…read moreEnglish Garden, surfers surf the waves of the Eisbach river. When I visited in late August, there was a line of surfers on each bank of the river, about 5 surfers deep. Each side took turns surfing the river, 1 surfer at a time. I'd say each surfer spent about a minute surfing before either dropping off or wiping out. There's great views of the surfing from either bank or one could watch on the bridge overhead. At least 100 people were watching when I went. Overall each surfer was considerate of their fellow surfer, in fact you might say they were very mindful and very demure. :P Eisbach-Welle is definitely a fun spot to visit and if you know how to surf, it's definitely worth a try.

Since I left my teen years behind, I have no longer been much of a Surf/Skate shop fan. But since I…read moreneeded new beach shorts, I decided to give this store a try. I am glad I did! When I entered the store, I felt a bit like a fish out of water. Never being in such a shop for a very long time gave me that feeling. I was a bit apprehensive, but this feeling vanished quickly, since they let me browse the store peacefully: there was no annoying salesperson trying to interact with me right from the start. I was particularly happy with that. Well, I looked and looked, and soon I found some nice and comfortable Board-shorts. Besides sportswear, there they have actual very good casual clothes. And without looking for it, I found there a pair of jeans that fit me really great. They were even on sale! I was so happy I wanted buy one more, but the one I got was the last one in my size. In the end, this turned out to be a very nice sports/surf/skate/clothes shop. The salesclerks are not pushy at all and they let you browse through the store comfortably, without any pressure. Even when I was in one of the fitting-rooms, which are spacious and private, I was not interrupted. Of course, if you need their assistance, they will help you promptly. You don't have to be a surfer, skater, or snowboarder to be able to enjoy this store. From time to time I am going there to check out the new cool stuff they have.
