SURFING IN PFUNDS | INN.ACTION
Surf up to 300m, with over 30km/h and more than 100% fun up the river!

Swim, paddle, practice on the static rope! Learn how to control the surfboard and make clean turns in the water. You'll hang on the static rope and use the resistance of the river, then put your skills to the test on the UP STREAM system. Ideal if you have no or little experience with surfing or wakeboarding.

And this is how it works
With the help of a pulley system and an underwater sail, the river speed is used to accelerate the surfer. As soon as one or two people pull on the sail, it is pulled with the current, generating the necessary energy to pull the surfer on the board against the current. Through the pulley we can multiply the power; so you can get up to 6 times faster than the river.
TASTER COURSE IN DETAIL
Warm up
After a detailed safety briefing, it's time to go into the river. You will get a first feeling 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.
Practice
Can you manage to control your surfboard? Learn how to control your surfboard and have a foundation for your turns. Once you've got the hang of it, the only thing left to do is stand up.
Learn surfing
Now you can practice standing up and do your turns on the static rope. Here you surf in one spot and use the resistance of the river current to make turns. When you feel ready to surf against the current, it's time to move on to the UP STREAM system.
UP STREAM surfing
Now you can put your skills to the test & surf upstream against the current! The UP STREAM system pulls you up to 300m and with up to 30km/h against the current - you get your money's worth!

Generally you should not swim or surf alone in the river. We have worked out a safety concept, which allows you to surf up the river without any worries. What does this concept consist of?
- Trained coaches are always on site. Rescue badge is a MUST, also there are regular training sessions where coaches maintain their practice level.
- We do not use loops. Because there is a risk with loops that you get caught under the water surface, we do not use them.
- Constant contact with the water rescue: we work closely with the water rescue. This can be on site within a few minutes.
- We do not surf in case of flotsam, high water, or other obstacles in the water.
- Lifeguards always on site. If you drift too far and feel that you can't make it out of the water on your own, we have placed a lifeguard who will pull you out if the worst happens.
Don't worry, we'll take care of the security.
