Development plans have been approved for the first surf park to be constructed in Germany. Known as the SURFTOWN MUC, the surf park will offer visitors to chance to experience authentic waves.

The facility will be located in the immediate vicinity of Munich Airport. Munich upholds the reputation as being the surf capital of Germany. The world-class pool will be aimed at enhancing the vibrant surf culture in the German city.

Developed by Endless Surf, providers of powerful and customisable surf pool technology for inland surfing, waves will be generated every ten seconds and reach heights of up to 180m.

The German facility will also feature areas for relaxation, including a fitness suite, food and beverage outlets, lounge areas and surf and lifestyle retail.

The site will accommodate all ages and surfing abilities, from professionals to novices.

Baptiste Caulonque, chief commercial officer at Endless Surf, commented on the aims of the new surfing destination in Germany: “This project is a showcase for inland surf by bringing a world class wave to an enthusiastic local surf community in a landlocked location. The venue will become a major attraction for Munich, with breaking waves visible as planes land.”

The site is expected to be up and running by 2023.
