The 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 practice your turns on the static rope. In the taster course you stay on the fixed rope (you surf in one spot). If you feel ready to surf against the current you can upgrade to the UP STREAM course.

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 legal guardian.
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, and there are also regular training sessions in which the coaches maintain their practice.
- We do not use a leash. Because there is a risk that you could get caught under the surface of the water.
- Constant contact and exchange with the water rescue service.
- If there is a lot of flotsam, high water or other dangers in the water, we do not surf and postpone the session.
- A lifeguard is 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 help you or pull you out if the worst comes to the worst.
Don't worry, safety is our top priority and we'll make sure you have lots of fun.
