"Nahrungsmittelunverträglichkeit!"
German surfers let out a hearty “Nahrungsmittelunverträglichkeit!” this morning after it was revealed that Munich’s fabled Eisbachwelle would reopen. The river wave, which has drawn the likes of Mick Fanning Jamie O’Brien, Dylan Graves and probably Ben Gravy was shuttered last year after a woman tragically drowned when her leash got caught on a rock.
Those standing by desperately tried to rescue, but to no avail, and city leaders shut the business down in order to evaluate.
When the water was turned back on, the wave failed to materialize leading to much chagrin. Surf Club Munich desperately tried to lobby the local government, though Eisbachwelle pioneer Walter Strasser felt the safety headache might just be too much for the town that once hosted the Beer Hall Putsch.
“I have so much experience with the Eisbach. I know exactly what the problem is. I could have fixed it within weeks, with very little funding. But the city told me they didn’t need me,” Strasser told local media.
Well, somehow the authorities figured it out and the standing wave is firing once more with some rules overlaid.
Taking to Instagram, the Surf Club declared:
THE WAVE IS BACK. We are happy, relieved and deeply grateful to see this place return — not only as a wave, but as a symbol of Munich’s surf culture. BUT NO ONE SHOULD CLAIM THIS MOMENT. Politics did not bring the wave back. The administration did not bring the wave back. No official process delivered this moment. The river did. And the community never stopped fighting for it. THE TRUE FIGHT IS STILL ALIVE. Today we celebrate. Tomorrow, we keep pushing. For a real future of the Eisbach. Not decisions made without the people who live this culture.
Hammertown.
There are some new rules, though, namely, “Only experienced surfers are allowed on the wave until 10 PM” and how jealous does that make you? Imagine if this rule was applied to all waves around the world? “Experienced” was not defined but maybe we can help?
What makes an “experienced surfer?”

Once again it wasn’t free, you just didn’t pay for it.
But it is getting paid for, whether it is some specialized tax or just a collective one on the country as a whole.
Gear doesn’t pay for itself, doctors don’t work for free, ect…

Only take 2 days to dry after you wash the fuckers
Is there such a thing as an experienced German surfer? Rare bird indeed.
They are very experienced about “instructing” you about how great they are at EVERYTHING…

Probably gonna wash them soon just in case
The Queen mattress though is various shades of yellow and dark brown in the shape of a human.
Gonna have to take that shitty mattress back….

Yeah the bamboo ones are good. Mate down here I put em in me ugg boots in full winter. Grouse
You got cbus super going? Might be able to claim 80 % of your wage as trauma insurance. Sounds like you did it at home.
Lambskins
Lambskin car seat covers are fukn awesome
I cut some old ones into inner soles. Faaarken lush.
I got some 30 year old ones. They last forever
It looks like a really nice place, to put on the map for everyone to see.
But there are no Maccas and all that shit across the road like at Coolangatta.
That should rule out 85% of shitcunts going there…
I would spend time around McDonalds Australians over backpacking Europeans any day of the week.

You were probably a bit chatty in the Hospital….
That is why they sent the large tattooed nurse in PJ’s to sort you out Hahahah

Nothing is free.

“Until 10pm” is so awesome. Love that newbs get to charge at night
Not enough sheep
It’s all in the implementation of the phonetics cuz chee!
HEY CUNT!
I KNOW how much you love our MADDOG
Mr Sikkant just released a video where he goes searching for the one and only.
Enjoy while you are stuck on the couch
This guy is classic. It’s amazing how much respect the hood Aussies have for him.
It’s confusing to me because Pomer has some sick clips on the YT but fuck the slow motion, at a mushy wave (still looks fun), with REGGAE MUSIC ultimatley results in one of the most underwhelming videos ever. Give me Gabe and Italo tearing up the place. Por favor.
Figure that the reggae is AI music, as well. He doesn’t credit any artist, and it doesn’t show up on Shazam. Wonder what Pomer is doing in Aus and NZ so late in life. Guess he’s started back living the good life.
I hope the best for him always he has some great content. Ai… I can’t say shit considering my recent Negs/sheep series
