About

Popular with Kayakers and Riversurfers. Never tried to surf it with my board. The water is cold all year round, brrrrrr. Only surf if you don't have the time to drive to France :)

Additional Info:
Only come if you already mastered "flosslaende" (other riverspot).
Have a short board (approx. 6ft long) shaped for high speed surf (river runs abnormally fast in comparison to waveheight).
Behave nice and ask locals for dangers: the rocks sticking out of the shallow bottom behind the wave may break your head / back / other bones easily. When falling, try to jump far behind the wave and flat.
In front of the wave, a wave magnifying apparatus made out of chains holding a 2 by 4 is installed - don't fall there either or you might get stuck (noone can help you there).
Don't go in if it's all whitewater (powerful whirlpool in deep water zone, again: no one can help you when you're in there).

It all looks fun and play, but this spot really is dangerous if you don't know or if you fall unlucky. I've been surfing there for 5 years now and have seen many uncomfortable-to-look-at accidents with serious injuries.
