I'm stoked that you posted my videos...Hi Paul,<br /><br />I'm stoked that you posted my videos on your site. It's a real honor!<br /><br />Regarding the wave at the Flosslände:<br /><br />I have been there a couple of times with my brother and it was never as good as last Sunday.<br /><br />According to the locals the wave is only rideable if there's enough water flowing through the ramp. The wave starts small at the beginning of the ramp like in the second scene of the video and then, with more water flowing through, it gets bigger and is pushed back right under the bridge.<br /><br />The locals said that during summertime the wave is working consistently in the afternoons which fits with my observation. We got there at 11am and the wave started to work at 1pm. All other surfers showed up at that time as well. <br /><br />You probably know that there's also the "Eisbach" wave right in the center of Munich. Now that I know that riding a surfmat is the way to do it I have to try it the next time I'm in town. <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisbach<br /><br />At the moment there's even a temporary artificial wave at the Munich airport. Looks like they are building it every summer. My brother tried it last year but did not manage to surf it properly. But now on a surfmat ... I wonder how this would be.<br /><br />http://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/surfwelle-am-muenchner-flughafen-riversurfen-fuer-jedermann-1.1132704-2<br /> <br />It definitely fun to surf a standing wave, but I would prefer real waves any day! Riding a standing wave feels like you are glued on the spot. The water is moving, but you don't feel the speed and the acceleration that a mat provides. Maybe it's just different. <br /><br />And one question...<br /><br />... do you know of any other mat riders in Sweden?<br /> <br />Kind regards<br />TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289837270278241948.post-28935938614565632652012-07-27T08:20:46.993-07:002012-07-27T08:20:46.993-07:00Always love your stuff Tim.
