River Surfing in Munich (Munich)

Long blonde hair cascading over dark brown skin, the sun setting in the distance as the surfer leans down on his board to barrel into a crystal blue tube of crashing ocean water, hugging a long stretch of sandy beach. The visual aesthetic and imaginary of surfing locates the capital of the beach sport somewhere along a picturesque coastline in Southern California. And then, there's Munich. At two spots along rivers flowing through the center of Munich, surfers are congregating, winter and summer, from dawn to dusk, and riding the riverwaves at Eisbach and Floßlände.
