I don’t think I really like this concept. It turns surfing into a video game. But, nevertheless, it does look like fun. The hedonist in me likes it.

Some crazy guys from the ’70s surf in 3″-deep beach break, schralp on skateboards, and generally make us think it is a miracle that they survived the filming of these clips. A couple of NSFW moments about halfway through.

Eisbach River Surfing from Brodie Thiesfield on Vimeo.
Some surfers kicking back in the cold waters of the Eisbach river in downtown Munich, Germany.
The Eisbach is a small man-made tributary flowing down from the mountains and carrying a gusher of a torrent. It flows out from under a bridge at around 18 km/h and has for years created a standing wave that surfers can use.
The wave is created in a narrow area between two concrete walls, and there are some similarly unforgiving rocks just underneath the surface of the wave that have been known to collect kneecaps for souvenirs. They have been surfing this wave since the 70’s it seems, but back then the wave was a little less dependable.
More recently a few guys used some rocks, boards, a few strands of rope and a smattering of fluid dynamics theory to make the wave larger and more dependable.

Well, I hesitate to post this because missionaries are such tools, but this video is, once you strip down all the hidden religious agenda, about bringing people together through a common activity: having fun in the ocean (i.e., surfing).
