After a detailed safety briefing, it's off into the river. You will get a first feel for the current and learn how to behave safely in the water. You will realize that getting out of the river is not as difficult as it seems.
Can you manage to control your surfboard? Learn how to control your surfboard so you have a basis for your turns. Once you've got the hang of it, all you need to do is stand up.
Now you can practise standing up and practise your turns on the static rope. In the taster course you stay on the fixed rope (you surf in one place). If you feel ready to surf against the current, you can upgrade to the UP STREAM course.
There are drinks, a beach & other opportunities to relax on site.

Every surf coach has a first aid course, lifeguard training and training from the Austrian Surfing Association. The UP STREAM SURFING system is constantly maintained and is never left unattended on the bridge. We only operate the UP STREAM SURFING system in safe river conditions.

What you should note: Disclaimer, terms and conditions
To take part in our surf courses, you must be at least 16 years old and be able to swim.
At the beginning of the course, participants are introduced to the safety concept and then swim a short lap in the river to get a feel for the water.
Participants can then try out the static rope to practise standing up on the board before moving on to the UP STREAM SURFING system.
While one participant surfs, two others sit on the underwater sail. They then rotate and take it in turns to surf against the current.
