The small Eisbach wave, also known as E2 among Eisbach surfers, is located a little further back in the English Garden.
It is only a few minutes away from the large Eisbach wave in Munich.
Eisbach surfers – insider sport in Munich’s English Garden
Surfing on the rivers has become a real trend and people are enjoying it more and more, not just on vacation!
Small Eisbach wave for beginners – big Eisbach wave for the pros
The big Eisbach wave is for experts and the small Eisbach wave is for those who want to become experts.
You should be able to do a “takeoff” to start on the big wave. Surfboards with a 20″1/2 width, flat rocker line & lots of tail area are recommended.
You can find lots of information on the city’s surfing pages.
Watching the small Eisbach wave is always fun
The wave is located in the east of the southern part of the English Garden, at the level of Himmelreich/Dianastrasse.
If you walk along the Eisbach from the Haus der Kunst, you will reach the small Eisbach wave after just under a kilometer. Known to Eisbach surfers as E2 at the Dianabadschwelle.
Surfing is actually not allowed here, but surfers deliberately ignore this.
If you are coming with the board, it is best to take the bike, if you are only coming to watch, you can also walk or take the bus or streetcar 16/36 to the Paradiesstraße stop.
PS: Because the residents there feel disturbed and surfing is actually not allowed, a new wave near Tucherpark is being considered. Floodlights and noise are a problem for residents.
The Munich surfing interest group is ready to talk. (Süddeutsche Zeitung Online on April 14, 2018, Alfred Dürr)
The IGSM e.V – Surfers’ Interest Group
Important and well-known to all surfers: The IGSM e.V.(Interessengemeinschaft Surfen in München) represents the interests of around 2000 surfers in the city.
The interest group is a registered association that takes care of all matters relating to river surfing in Munich.
The association is dedicated to preserving the surf waves in the city and the surrounding area. He also advocates the construction of new surf spots. The association also conducts negotiations with the relevant bodies of the City of Munich. It also supports the next generation in practicing this sport.
Almost a must for every surfer fan!
Under no circumstances should it be ignored that surfing in Munich on the large Eisbach wave or the small Eisbach wave is only possible for the time being due to public use and the “good will” of the City of Munich.
It is therefore essential that the rules for use are observed!
