OK, this was hands down the coolest thing we came upon in Germany....River Surfers. These surfer dudes were surfing the exit of a river that had been channeled under the City of Munich. It gets compressed down into a small viaduct, and then exits out these two small portals. The speed of the river is accelerated (something to do with physics, Cliff or Bob can probably explain this to you...) and the water just flies out. There were probably 20+ surfers there when we walked by, and they were cutting some really nice waves.

The best however was when they finally lost it, they would drop, and the current would literally thrown them downstream at about 50mph! Eventually they would get into slower moving water, and be able to get to the side of the river, then walk back for another round.

Very cool indeed!
