FAQ
To participate in our surfing courses you must be at least 16 years old and be able to swim.
At the beginning of the course, participants will be briefed on the safety concept, followed by a short swim in the river to get a feel for the water.
Participants will then be allowed to try their hand on the static rope to practice standing up on the board, before moving on to the UP STREAM SURFING system.
While always one participant surfs, two others sit on the underwater sail. Then they rotate and take turns surfing against the current.
Important: The use of drugs, alcohol, and medications are prohibited at UP STREAM SURFING. Physical fitness is an advantage.
Swimwear is the most suitable. We also recommend socks under the neoprene shoes for hygienic reasons.

You don't have to worry about drifting in the river. After a few meters you can swim out, with or without a board. Besides, if you miss an exit point, there are many other ways to get out of the river.
Nevertheless, we have of course always positioned a coach as a safety post, just in case.
Yes, you must be at least 16 years old to surf the river. However, if you are 16 or 17, you need a written consent from your parents or the person in charge of you.
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.
