River surfing

Eisbach

During lunchtime surfers queue up and wait their turn to surf on the standing wave in the Eisbach, a man made side arm of the river  Isar in the middle of the city of Munich.

The wave is waiting –

In Munich, there is a “standing wave” in the Eisbach (literally: ice brook) just before this branch of the river Isar is routed underground and later joins the main river again.  If the weather permits it, one can settle down at the banks and watch other people getting wet – while performing heroic deeds.

City surfing

Another summer collage in response to värikollaasit:

The river Isar runs through Munich.  In the middle of the city a permanent wave is formed and it is said that this is where river surfing was first practiced.  Now during summer there is always a crowd watching as the surfers display their skills.
