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.
Important: The consumption of drugs, alcohol and medication is prohibited at UP STREAM SURFING. Physical fitness is an advantage.
Swimwear is best suited. We also recommend socks under the neoprene shoes for hygienic reasons.

You don't need to worry about floating down the river. You can swim out after just a few meters, with or without a board. What's more, if you miss an exit point, there are plenty of other ways to get out of the river.
Nevertheless, we have of course always positioned a coach as a security guard, just in case.
Yes, you must be at least 16 years old to surf on the river. However, if you are 16 or 17, you will need a written declaration of consent from your parents or the person responsible for you.
In general, you should not swim or surf alone in the river. We have developed a safety concept that allows you to surf up the river without any worries. What does this concept consist of?
- Trained coaches are always on site. Rescue badges are a MUST, and there are regular training sessions in which the coaches maintain their practical level.
- We do not use loops. As there is a risk of getting caught under the water surface with loops, we do not use them.
- Constant contact with the water rescue service: we work closely with the water rescue service. They can be on site within a few minutes.
- We do not surf when there is flotsam, high water or other obstacles in the water.
- Lifeguard 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 rescue post to pull you out if the worst comes to the worst.
Don't worry, we'll take care of the security.
