Surfing the Eisbach in Munich, Germany (2019)

 

New York Times, 3/7/2026

Christopher F. Schuetze reports:
Munich, despite sitting some 200 miles from the nearest sea, was an unlikely surf spot until recently. Enthusiasts flocked to the waterway, called the Eisbach, in a park near a university neighborhood, to take turns riding the artificial wave. 
But after the authorities dredged the channel last year, the wave vanished. 
Now the Munich surfing community — yes, there is such a thing — is trying to remake it.
