Overhead Shots (Explained)
https://surftown.de/media/pages/interactive-maps-container/surf-experien...
Notice more surfers waiting outside the Pool & few in the lineup?
Why leave potential customers wait in the cold line-up when they can be buying extra merch!
Surfers rotate onto grass knolls then move onto central concrete bays to Central Wade / Wait area
You can see sets of 3 Pro/ Intermediate / [L] on each side (See Hot Tubs > Sell a tonne of Wetties)
German style Queue like Eisbach Flow Hang but the wave Queue should rotate 6x faster.
Just like Eisbach there is ZERO paddling...did ya notice that...check it ...no paddle outs to line-up.
Note the waves are slightly offset which prevents crowding or late racing to line up.
From above ...Pool is shaped like a dish coz surfers have gotta keep rotating in/out (Giant Drip Tray!)
Pretty much know they need to divert more water back to the pool but extra merch spend covers it!

However...Goldie Theme Park Gromz know that Concrete Ride walk-arounds are murder on ya feet...
Return Summer surfers will need lotion to soften yer feet ... then you'll slip off yer boards.(Big problem!)
Reckon they'll go thru some Winter Booties...make a fortune!
Also wear out the Leggies real fast....might wanna cut back on the hire or double the fee to cover it!

Note 3 surfers per L/R per wave > Pro hugs the wall > Intermediate trail face > [L] Witewater.
[L] Softie is meant to bounce off Waders in the bays!
Does that back set of steps look a bit suss...no disabled ramp but Robot entry or some shit!
Can see over to the right looks open to the street....again like they're stealing the Eisbach crew!
Owner is a German surfer & would be well wise to Local surf Hang culture...we're seeing a local hang!
This very much resembles a Munich Surftown Raft Landing.
Add some Comp lights in Airport Precinct just like urbnsurf...

Photos will show that Viewers / Photographers can access 360 degrees of pool.
On top of that another 180 degree elevated walking deck...
Marketers will love unlimited detailed zoom angles to sell next level micro merch.

There's a lot of new stuff...on website...
We'll break it down into parts ... This being a social media review

*Incredibly large Timber Built Surf Centre...folksie like a Bavarian Beerhaus Vessel
*Some better detail of odd sequencing of Caissons and chambers

18 Jan : Different Zones > Intro 'Line up Paddle Outs'
tbb will align Zone description with their appointed shadowed Zones )
Layout (All) Note Full perimeter access > New Wavegarden designs are also adopting this!

Comments : Endless Surf is powered along Wall Face (vs) Wavegarden off opposing break-wall.
Endless Surf Paddle channel swell steepens as it narrows...(vs) Wave Garden paddle is subtle.
Highly whipped toppled Kooks may be bucked off & trawled along face to crab pot the lineup!
"Outta my way stranded Kooks!"

There's more to come on who can and who can't surf + cost & Wave detail.
Mostly as this is vague or only part answered, tbb needs more time to decode the FAQ.
Surftown History is a mix of craft & non craft Surfing...VIP Surf Park is prioritizing surfcraft over masses!
All know by mandating Wave Pool entry to most expensive exclusive Craft combos = More Hire / Sales
$1,000-$2,000 on sell for Boardriders as opposed to $zero on sell for bodysurfers = Ban Bodysurfing!

26th Jan : More Surf Centre Photos...Much to like here...
Tip : Many patrons may visit for soothing serene harbour Style Wave Soundscape...
Sun Terrace is heavily promoted for views but has no > Lift / Stairs in-out / utilities / WC / Service points.
Site claims serving 220 but restricts patrons to on-sell IT scanning gateways through-out the Park.

Recapping Surftown Flow Culture
Thru summer several weekly Rafts of 60 surf 30kms at speeds of 40km/hr into Surftown.

There the Eisbach runs thru Largest inner city World Surf Park...42million a year
Size of 640 Football Pitches > 75km paths-Roads + 2km flowing Surf Circuit
Most year-round Visitors are sightseers apart from Summer...Gone Surfin'!
Signs : [ Surfing / Swimming prohibited ]

Peak Surfing Season (Water Temp) 15-20* June/July/Aug
Following numbers were cross sampled from many Vids / Images to reveal similar # over & often.
Assumes most vids / images are during most accessible Peak Summer season

7,200/hr Bodysurfers (1/hr session Daily > Locals Verified 5 sessions/week at Dedicated Hang!)
Illegal swimmers Hot Spot...'Complimentary' Tram Rescue Service returns "At Risk!" Swimmers.
re: Oz Bussies gotta save "At Risk Kidz" > Here each Swimmer is an at risk passenger! (Can't say No!)
Strictly refers to Local Body Surfer's here-say...as such regular exercise is deemed illegal!

7,000/hr Bathers / Dippers (Mostly Blow-ins > At various pads / diversions along Surf Circuit)

1,000/hr Nudists > 200/hr bathe > 20/hr bodysurf Separate Lone Larger ramped Weir currents

All Year Round Visitors > Engage the Eisbach but less so thru the Winter months
3,000/hr Full Attire Sightseers (Crisscross / Hangs at 70 bridges) over the 2km Surf Circuit
Boardrider Hangs
360/hr Repeat Board-rides in Split Queues of 15 on both banks
400/hr Surf Flow Spectators (Restricted Paths / Bridge viewing)
300/hr Repeat Board-rides in single bank Queues of 10 at other 2 Flows + 50/hr spectators

Clear to all that Boardriders / Spectators spend longer near Bridges / Bus / Transit / Stores!
Interesting to see Metro Trains do allow passengers with Boards to access Eisbach.
Boardriders Build a cross canal Beer Bridge > Passes Pub Test Sticker [Buy more, dump more shit]
Seems like many EU YouTube vidz are blanking out in Oz Zones...Still should play alright!

Novelty Surf Village Attraction
Fully Suited 24/7 Boardrider Localism locks in Year Round Novelty o's Boyz Toyz Flow Wave attraction.
Also, Summer Mass Bodysurf Circuit equally attracts jealous o's City folk.(Long Free Ride - Fuck Yeah!)
Whole surftown wave circuit attracts overseas alternate reverse downtown city life surf stoke curiosity.
Everything is back to front...& the locals & blowins are supa-stoked...Wotz not to love!

Wave Trains
(Main Bridge Flow)
5 second (Wave Train turnover) Best o/s Pro Rides 10secs > Local 20secs > Urban Legends 1min retire!
Alt Share-Weir Flows (Summertime)
Bodysurfers tend to group in Packs of 20 > (Allow 10 secs for Boardrider) Flows next 20 Bodysurfers!
Across Canal Body Surfer's Rope is used to detour Flow Wave to clear Longer Boardrider Queues!
One group may slow fellow Bodysurfers thru alt detour gate > to alleviate growing boardriders queue!
No Rules No Rage sporting gesture to detour an exit to share the Flow Wave! Extraordinary Surf Stoke!
Must return to further review this harmonious Rebel Outpost of united crews of banned surfers.
Note these poor half naked Boardriders share Lineup with Half Naked Bully Bodysurfers! Tough Gig!
Interesting to see more of this Alt Wave for more natural order Surf culture...pretty rare & cool huh!

Zones + Avg Wave Trains > Levels > Height / Price Guide
Endless Surf 16 surfers in 4 Wave Zones = 64 x 12 / 8.5sec rides/hr
Roughly about half as slow as Eisbach Wave Train with twice as long rides or (Visiting pro length rides!)

We can assume edgy Locals will make the take off but blow the recover from their first Maneuver.
Following riders will have a clear take off to bust first move then land on fellow Kook!
3rd Surfer will make Take Off and bust a move but mid Line-up will then be mined with crab pots.
Wave 4 will need clearing before continuing! That's how the Eisbach Locals roll in Endless Surf Shire!

Comps / Tour Events : Crowd 400+400 (Little more is said on this!)
WSL Partnered Sponsors CT RipCurl / Oakley / Sun Bum + QS Mastercard + BWT Tudor + Red Bull
It seems likely that Pool will host National Comps > RipCurl Gromz / QS up to CS Events...

Traditional German Wavehause 2036 Olympic Bid warrants a default lone WSL CT Qualifier / Training!
Reminding that Germany has Iconic Wave Pool Tradition...few can argue against Traditional Surf Stoke!
tbb presents best case scenario...Exhibiting National Traditional Lifestyle is rewarded in Olympic Ideal.
Germany presents obvious organic Olympic Wave Pool inclusion...but...
Namibia recognizes German Language / Population & seeks reparations. (Skeleton Bay Olympic Ideal?)

Recapping Munich Surftown opens next month...should see first Endless Surf waves in a month or so!

4 April : Lookout Restaurant

https://surftown.de/en

First ...Long awaited Endless Surf Waves Shape up in Munich Surftown...(No Spoiler!)

https://www.facebook.com/o2surftownmuc/?locale=et_EE

https://endlesssurf.com/2024/05/14/first-waves-endless-surf-debuts-next-...

There seems to be a delay in firing up the Waves...

3 Main Topics of conversation are emerging...

Park Opening Dates
The Web Site is still not offering Session Prices
Surfers are questioning the Smaller Scale offerings.

Another obvious question ... The Logo + Black Wall base line!
Will the Logo / Line dominate every wave face image...
Will the logo / Line distract boardriders focused on wave beneath
Will added Surfboard Wake further distort images on Photos & Vidz. (WG Ramp was aborted!)
Perhaps it can be exploited by Coaches as training / Hit Point - markers

Photo Gallery shows Logo embossed images distorting perfectly small waves.

1. A Frame Split Peak ( Mirrored Wave face image is offset by Logo lines?)
Also noting the Building shadows the Pool Base logo...wonder if that was intentional?
https://www.instagram.com/endlesssurfofficial/p/C7NNX7NS9Si/?img_index=1
2. Distinct Dark (vs) Light wave Face (Similar to surfing in/out of Bait Fish Packs)

Sorry! (This being the amended version!) Contains further Logo insight!

3 Main Topics of conversation are emerging...

Park Opening Dates
The Web Site is still not offering Session Prices
Surfers are questioning the Smaller Scale offerings.

Another obvious question ... The Logo + Black Wall base line!
Will the Logo / Line dominate every wave face image...
Will the logo / Line distract boardriders focused on wave beneath
Will added Surfboard Wake further distort images on Photos & Vidz. (WG Ramp was aborted!)
Perhaps it can be exploited by Coaches as training / Hit Point - markers

Photo Gallery shows Logo embossed images distorting perfectly small waves.

1. A Frame Split Peak ( Mirrored Wave face image is offset by Logo lines?)
Also noting the Building shadows the Pool Base logo...wonder if that was intentional?

Cheers Craig...tbb has often shared that many Wavepools feature striking finishes.
Many of these disguise safety features in a stylish or striking manner to accessorize the Wavepool,

#1 swellnet exclusive Wavepool motifs Visual FX.

1920-30's Therapy Wavepools
Entry rails > Alt' step or Coloured tile steps
(EU Safety Common!) : Deep Blue / Black [Depth Level line] runs along wall between Hand rail & Base
Later > Entry impact Arc/Circle radiating alt colour banded looped wave zones
Either or both meet the cross float/hung Deep end Rope Line/s > Restricted Zones (Signed in English)
(Little is written or spoken in English of assumed set safety parameters other than obvious aims!)
Presumed to guide swimmers back to safety within the changing Wave impact conditions...
Arrival of Waves are often Sounded out by Whistles / Hooters / Horns / Sirens etc!)

Fantastic Aerial Shots of Both early Wavepools showcase alt banded Loop Wave Impact zones.
https://dailynewshungary.com/baths-budapest-like-youve-never-seen/
Arced wade entry > Wavy Dark banding continues to Oz finest wavepools (Bayswater Waves)
https://atconsulting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Bayswater-overvie...

This is clearly a Global Industry default guideline....Dark Blue Wavy bands = Wave Zone
Next 2 shots ramp the radical wave distortion of same tame lame banded loops!

1927 Gallert Wavepool Has 2x Deep End /Side LGs + 4 life rings
Wild Waving Chaos Theory (Highlights massive whipped Wave Distortion of Tiled Lines)
https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c3d52c_18b88583058341598a38cf00efad6c...

1937 Psychedelic Palatinus Boardrider's Wavepool...(2x LGs atop deep end Pier Point) + No leggies

1920-30's Dive Tower / Swim Lane ~ share / wavepools
These Deeper Pools feature straight base swim lane lines that distort as waves pass.
Waves break / Bubble a warmer softer pool surface without breaking bones on icy tops
But the waves also enable Divers to safely gauge the depth of any swimmer beneath.
Distorted Wave outlines Swimmer is nearer the Surface (No Dive)
Clear Wave outlines Swimmer is way down Deep (Safe to dive)

We can see that same effect in this deeper Wave pool...Troughs magnify (vs) Peaks Distort-Hide Lines!
Consider the raised swells vs deeper water distorting all in this pool.
Now observe!
Ask why a Pool of unbroken Waves requires 9 (yes!) Head +8 LG's to Patrol Distorted tiny Swim Pool.
None even venture near the Heavily whipped Wave Zone...
Check and see...Swimmers are grouped tightly into a very small but well distorted Line Up!
Such a mild wave pool but a Massive added high risk distorted element for Life Guard Patrols.

Such level of distortion ain't natural > check the mirrored pool walls with swimmer's vanishing act...
See how newly formed Black lines appear across the pool from thin air...WTF! It's a Trip out!
Tricks yer eyes don't it! (Stare at this for 8 hours then yer behind the wheel up a tree on the way home!)

Wave Pool Logos / Motifs
Most would assume dreamy clean slate Wavepools make the Ideal dream promo backdrop
Effect is lost during Wave mode unless adopting shallow low impact EU inshore entry.
Most Tramp Stamps strictly play on EU Entry / Meet @ Safety Arcs.

Flow Wave [Logo] Fails
All Flow Rider Logos can't be read....
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSd-NSIBfG2TV4AWA9r...

World's #1 Wavepool [logo] Royal Caribbean
tbb confirms this is the only Wave / Flow Logo that gets imprinted on yer brain...
They seem to roll out 1,000's of these cheesy Logo Vidz.

Summary....
Wavepool Logos are not an issue & can even value add to the Pool in many ways!
Many Logo's can be incorporated as a Safety feature and also minimise distortion!
Very shallow slower inshore sheets of water permit Logo / Safe point recognition.
Endless Surf has opportunity to utilize Logo as a traditional Arced Wavepool Entry Safety Feature

As logo / Lines submerge Deeper with raised wave height the Distortion increases LG patrol risk!

The more centralizing crowding of a Deeper off set Wave Distorted Logo could devalue Wave Park.
Not just commercially but aesthetically for wave promos & may even compromise safety.

However! It is a new stomping ground...
Perhaps a weekly Leased Promo Line Up is just around the corner...few doubt otherwise!
tbb thinks it could lend to some Jock Air Games...or Loop the O2...on the Wave Face!
Can't see it being needed nor an asset...could even Tramp Stamp Branded Company as a failure!

Still think this Logo plays on their minds...(In 2 Minds whether to throw the baby out with the bathwater)

Munich Surftown Boardriding reveal.
Kinda like another sneak Peak as with earlier Vid!

No big Waves or Barrels as yet!

If anything...we see more Lake setting than Wave setting!

If any crew think it looks weird > tbb reviewed the LOGO above.
LOGO doesn't really come into play with these overly groomed edits!
Zero Promo defeats the purpose of the LOGO!

ISPO Sports Unit Review
https://www.ispo.com/en/about

It's what ya don't see in the above Curtain Raiser Vid that sets this Wavepool apart.
Might have something to do with White Water West free spirited pedigree.

Most new breed Wave Pools have Surf Industry backers.
Endless surf are rooted in free love family Water Parks.
Family Wave Pools strictly ban geeky high risk leashes & surfcraft.

However this hybrid is meant to cull any free spirited surfing.

Ranch bouncers lasso & hogtie plank walkerz & drill holes in Skimboards within a record 5 secs.
Wave gardeners all fit Space Helmets while cultivating crops with razor sharp rotatory blades

Strictly no hard headed highly strung jock pilots in this NASA space cadet academy!
So why are Endless Surf VIPs parading off leash Hot Dogz!
We see a few Masters have leashed their Branded Pets.
Even then, some have chomped at their bits & chewed them off.

All are expecting more orderly leashed surfing towards opening day...we shall see!

This vid of Hometown Olympians lends angles for Local Comp formats
Happy to share this Vid...good job all round guys!

Ok! We got an unusual Take Off anomaly...many would've noticed the odd wave mounting!
Even for a wave pool there seems to be an issue with a simple Take Off procedure!
We can collate all the waves that expose this flaw...

[1:16] All see a dismounted surfer facing opposite direction & floundering.
Q: Why not just Camp on board...Huh?
Is it too cold > Note above Skimboarder is in Boardies as Euro Summer approaches
Weird how surfer faces opposite towards wave but then blindly turns away from the wall?
[2:26] Surfer is again dismounted but now Board aligns with wave Direction...(Watch!)
Now the same surfer alternates to turn towards the wall when mounting.
[4:02] Surfer now sits facing the oncoming wave & turns towards wall.
Surfer Change
[5:43] Chick Surfer lies prone with Wave direction & mounts facing the Wall
[6:01] Repeats same procedure
[6:26] Chick now Camps seated towards the wall + Guy is again off his board offering assist?

So what trickery is fooling both surfers to trial & coach several different odd Take Off procedures?
Surely these moderate easy take offs are not that tricky...C'mon! Wots the game here!
Also why would any edit a Vid to highlight this Flaw...(Recall Urbnsurf crabpot bloopers as Promos!)

Ok! Think we start at the start by removing all surfers & focus on the Wave rising along Wall.
Open honest account of wot any/all eyes might see that distracts or distorts the rising of the Wave!
Thanks to earlier Vids we can strip this back to the origin of the rising wave...

Also rule out LOGO at this point...Why!
No videos share the A Frame take off zone...We can address the Point Take Off with Vids!
Clearly surfers have main issue with the Right Wave rising along the Wall as it Surfaces!

(Obvious exposed Take Off Distractions)
15 May Vid...
[0:05] Harsh Matt Glare (vs) Deep cast Dark Shadows
[0:06] Plane Take Offs are many & an obvious Distraction!
[0:10] Black Floor grate black band expands across Wave Face then recedes or vanishes in troughs.
[0:10] (Colour Tiers) Sky / Black Wall / White Wall / Green Water / (Mirror) Glare / Shadows
[0:10] Eye focuses on initial Wall rising water & rear line before & away from wave pitch point
[0:12] Intense Distortion of dancing Water Glare / Shadows on rising Wave Face

28 May Vid...
[0:03] Major wall line visual wave distortion from Dark Floor grate
Travelling Face of wave doubles the bandwidth as trailing trough vanishes the banding
[0:08] Major arcing of bandwith projects in reverse on wave face contour
[0:14] 3x darkening & size of wave-face band-width

29 May (Vid)
[0:08] Rising wave severely distorts black banding to dominate a striking visual effect.
Clearly shows any Surfer looking along the wall sees greater Visual Distortion.
[0:51] See striking Banding lured from the wall to be absorbed into the Barrel of breaking Wave
[1:20] Aerial also show broader bandwith on Wavefront & less width trailing...
See also on the Big O > Wavefront instantly broadens the Dark colour bandwidth & thins in the trough.
[1:36] Important...see the rad Grate Band spiking effect on wave face at end weds the same start point!
[1:56] We see same rad spike from wall into the wave face at take off point.
[2:15] Fuller Softer Wash wave take off > subdues both Wave Face/Trough spiked shadow effect.
[2:30] Slightly elevated middle pool view also lessens the Spiked take off effect
[2:45] Note as soon as any swell nears the wall the band Spikes into the wave just as quick.
[3:08] Weathered surface seems to soften or obscure the dramatic spike effect
[4:03] Now see it's a 2 way distortion of band climbing the wall as it intrudes into the wave..
[4:19] Highlights Front / rear / side / logo visual distortion on Peak wave Image!
[4:23] Distorted disjointed Wall Grated Wave Spike

As the wind ruffles the wave face it subdues the striking effect
[5:45-6:00] Freeze Frame sequence > Surfer totally warps the BIG O into weird shape/s
Last wave trailing distortion attracts fellow surfer.

Take Off distraction Summary...
Not the Logo or Planes
Any / All distorting effect originates from Large wall hugging dark banded Grate effect

Both Olympians are clearly preoccupied by this or similar Wave Take Off Distortion.

The wall banding distortion is magnified nearest the wall spiking into mirror glass rising wave barrels.
The instant widening of Band into the pool splits then zips a Spike to meet the Wave Curl.
Almost like a 3d Artzy Archer firing a cross visual Black Spike into yer Barrel...(As in 'Jump the Gun'!)
This early dominant effect clearly tricks the eye away from focusing on later rising wave break point!
The distortion forces the surfer/s to trial varied visual options to lessen the offset dark spiking effect
The striking effect dominates until Wind ruffles the surface or wave fills out to subdue the banding.

Being a one wave Trial restricts any operational flow on effect.
Wall grate distorts the First Surfer...following surfers may trail a subdued effect...Perhaps?
However the Clean sheet Type Face & Big O less bothers the first surfer. (Sunset/rise perhaps)
This distortion will likely more affect trailiing surfers > Photos > Operational Patrols
(Above) tbb exampled PEPSI repositioning Logo.
One would pose an obvious Question...

Would industry ai airbrush a distorted mutated nationally branded Big O for a Sponsored Pro!

Pnuematics distort mirrored Power Bands by number of nearest powered Chambers.
In the case of Endless Surf 34 Chambers stoking a short wave exaggerates Waveband Distortion.
We see increased visual illusion as wave rises (vs) All earlier lesser rear-side chambered models.
Quote 3rd Law : "For every action an equal and opposite reaction!"
Translation...The more air ya blow to stoke Larger waves the higher level of Visual distortion!

Q: Can operators reduce or eliminate this increasing distortion! (That's the right Question!)
Sure! By reducing / sequencing or harmonizing the Air Chambers to counter the effect.
The effect diminishes away from power source + In fuller flatter waves

(Elemental Neutrality)
Glare can either amplify or totally blind out the effect + Shadows likewise hide the effect!
Obviously that proves too difficult for operator to control > Apart from exacting Shade Screens!
Tip : "Pink Mould coloured loose Weave" Breathes & hides any mould > Low cost maintenance!
Wind / Rain Ruffled Surface reduces the effect by breaking it up.
Natural less filtered slightly murky Lagoon Water instantly drowns out the Power Band effect!
eg: Proportionately chambered Waco + Boa Vista 'Murky Lagoons' can't sustain power Bands.

(Colour / Lighting)
Colouring Dark Utilities lighter to blend with Pool Surface will instantly eliminate harsh banding effect!
Indoor Wave Arena Muted Lighting at specific angles should soften or even neutralize the effect.

Can Wave Garden / Modules stoke up respective Power Bands!
Wave Garden incorporates drains within modules...(Tulla has a couple of high grate mounts!)
Numerous uniform Module effect shares the load evenly at moderate distance.
Wave garden band distortion rather depends on continuous dark backdrop + Viewing Position!
No! From shoreline or Central Console looking into wave against White Wall backdrop!
Yes! From Mid Side walls (Square on!) Distorted Banding darts along Black Skirt Backdrop!

Q: Will Visual Distortion increase as Wavepools age...
A : Very much so with Mix'n'match odd coloured Wall & Base patching
eg: Recall SK pool played around with Ramps > Odd coloured lining Patches now distort Wave Faces!
Again, depends on angle of viewing....( Glare would knock out central Patched Bathymetry distortion )

"Light Refraction"..continued...

*Alternate Take Off Options (Also from earlier!)
(We could be seeing purposeful (Delayed) Late Take Off Coaching!)
Possibility of Each Olympian Coaching each other into Late Steeper Take Offs to prepare for Teahupoo!
Kinda like each are trialing last second alternate Late Drop back up techniques.

* Overcast + Slightly ruffled surface slightly breaks up the banding effect.

(Note it doesn't seem odd that Light Refraction is front and centre of Mind for operator & Vid viewers!)
This Wide open Bright Blue Lagoon would be a striking, startling visual for folk in a Euro River City.

Backtrack Combo ( Deluxe Reworking of previous Vids )

8th June (Backtrack) Surf Ambassador Sebastian Steudtner (Video is now available)
Recap : Nazare Big Wave Surfer > Some sweet treat for Goofy Crew. (Thanx for loading that vid!)
Comes across as genuine...likeable Local Pro type session / WaveTest vid for the crew.
Just sharing this is much better than the non official TikTok vid! (Very Euro Slick F1 Style...nice!)

But Wait...there's more...a Beautiful Panoramic rework of Victoria Vergara's Rainbow / Moonlight Session!
There is some wonderful Sky vistas presented & more to come...they look great like the Tulla Big Sky!
Be cool if there was a longer version of this vid...stoked to share this much...

Stats
https://www.boardsportsource.com/02-surftown-munich-gets-ready-to-open-o...
Energy =100% renewable > Hall is heated by Geothermal + 16 charge Stns + 68 Bikes / E bikes soon!
Water = Groundwater
Facility = 20,000 sq metres
Events = 4,000 + Future options
Pool = 10,000 sq metres
Length = 180m
Staff = 150
Open = 7am > 11pm
Waves =12/hr
There is some surprise talk of 20 sec' rides & does look like a prolonged open face height.
Maybe time a few when more full edit vidz come one.

Skid Kidz have a hard time reading this wave...not as easy as they thought...
Seems the running wave confused them more than the set wall mounts.
Also the end where the Logo zip line meets the wall spiked line..
Once again...indicates the Logo is fouling their set target point as it distorts the face.
So the lines are less affecting the tube riding...so the exercise yields that much!
Point was made of lip pitch hitting and slowing the board...something to consider for later!
Mostly coz this crew can tuck in tight & zip pretty quick...& they struggled & got held back a little?

23rd July Bookings
$AUD (Levels) Wave Height / Depth or Type

Wade Zones
$115 *Gromz 6-10yrs (shallow)*1st Timer .5m (Waist Deep)*Rookie .7m (Waist Deep)

27th July Pre-Sales Open Members Session is a bit of fun
First video of actual operations with staff / crowds..Great Local Vibe & Surf Hang Stoke
10 Lifeguards Stand evenly spaced Around perimeter (No shade/seats) + not in front of Screen
DJ Wave Tower has a few dodgy steps + has groupies.
Seems like roof top has no lift not even for DJ?
Mobile crane at Screen > Possibly looks in need of extra height to obtain Ratio (Very Large!)

Just wanna share that the Oz crew do notice the German Surf Stoke & warm smiles.
Do recall the Endless Summer Sunshine Vibe yer aiming for...well on the way with that.

Happy Oz surfed with Germany in R1 Good Job > Tim & Camilla
Plenty of swellnet crew cheering on the German Olympic Team likewise...

In return the swellnet crew send Sunny vibes for Munich Surftown opening weekend.

Salt (vs) Fresh (Skid Kidz Vidz)
Crew may have noticed the Skid Kidz Euro Safari being a little sluggish or that their timing is out?
Skim boarder requests DJ to flick to Right Ramps but with no real explosive gain...
Even mentions he feels he was dragged back in the barrel or struggling to keep the wave!

Heavier Salt water usually sinks but panned in shallows gifts skimmerz exaggerated speed & lift.
Heated Air & shallow water runs faster than Colder Air & deeper Water
World Land Speed records are in Summer Air on Shallow heated Salt Pans
Without Salt in their pan the lighter less supportive Fresh Water shallows now exaggerates Skim drag.

Meaning...it's easy to blame the DJ or Pitched Lip Line or even the Visual Wave Distortion
It's the instant drag of skimming fresher colder water dragging more as it drops off into deeper water

What to do about that?
Natural to run longer, faster & harder but these Wave Pools have perimeters...So Wotz Plan B
Skid Kidz would need a slicker voluminous Fresh water quiver to meet targeted ramp points
Meaning skim boarders are most affected by switch to fresh water & need more adaption.
Vast array of Heated Salty Flick Tricks (vs) constrained toned down Cold Fresh Water Tricks.
Well...maybe more about changing one's mind set to include a broader array of slower cooler tricks.
Slow and steady wins the race!

Guessing they know that now...maybe a Skid Kidz Bigger Cooler Euro Safari sequel...lock that in!

Private Pre Surf Early Bird Crew Session (Interesting VIP open share Vid)

[0:01] The waves seem to run further than intended into the Forecourt.
* Wave Wall is being built (Not sure if that was intended)
Keeping the Wave Splash in check....or keep dry!
* DJ Tower Booth is walled by Promos (Possible Elevator to Roof Top Terrace!)
* Note [L] Boards are bossing Summer Arvo Sun (Unusual use of Premium Hang Space?)
Could be a Sanitory Reason
* Summer Gurlz
[0:11] Note many new Trial /// Wall Markings \\\ + (((Logos))) (A work in progress!)
* Wave echo is loud & may be marketed or sold as quirky Therapeutic Hang!
* Also recall Hoots / Yews! from this same end of ride for Tim on this right beach (A Stoked Hang?)
These open share Vidz often add Stoke...not a long vid but most revealing!
* Like the fact that it was dark enough for Lights (Again...Is this lighting delay due to ~ Precinct / Eco restrictions)
As more surfers hit the pool in this end of day period > Lighting issue is Now very obvious!
Surely a pre Opening > Lighting trial was mandatory!
Note : It's possible to surf under the light of the Giant Screen...sounds weird. but is this the Plan?

(Above) Apologies for Open day TikTok links...
tbb tries to avoid them if Alt is available...this pool runs a lot of Tik Tok! Vidz.
Sadly they all to soon switch from link back to random sketch.
Not always...did try to refresh and lock them in...but they got a mind of their own.
Feel free to ignore them as a lucky dip!

Compo : Can offer the Munich Surftown Main Gallery link Page...for crew to choose!
https://www.tiktok.com/discover/surftown-munich

First up...Pool Opening has spawned many Insta Style Chix do Surftown Vidz
tbb is fine to share but they're mostly random hit'n'miss Tik Tok...
Just sharing a new kinda Town Chix stoke is fast comin' on with their sound byte backing trax!
Anyhow...check them out...some are look at me...others do a commentary with wave action.
So yeah! It's a thing alright & has come on pretty quick...starting to merge as a local surf chix hang!

Secondly is the American crew are blending with the local crew...we can share them vidz
So! We got US doco Pros + lots of Local Chix all hangin' out at new pool.
2,500 Crowd / Voice over lends the exhibition a Comp venue vibe...quite a few cram into small gig!
Still not seen any Night Lights action? Seems a little odd...but that pool wall + other stuff is on the fly!
So expect a few changes after opening period irons things out!
Plenty of Rays / Bodz / Chix in fine spirit in lead up to Oktoberfest...lots of surf stoke in the Pool! Cool!
Plenty of fun & shared waves...lotz to enjoy...off to a perfect start...

swellnet crew sending good vibes and smiles...keep up the Surftown Stoke Munich...Yew!

Settle down tbb (Here) This boardriding display is way better...Happy to share!
Exotic Pro boardriding sessions sweet Crispy Tunes ( Pretty Cool Vidz )

Can learn more watching Pros on these longer pronounced fluid sessions...
Starting to see surfers perfect wider stance on shorter wider boards...
Hard to notice this Wave Pool Style because each surfer is adapting fast.
So it kinda presents smooth as if nothing has changed but clearly it's a new style!
We're seeing Endlless Surf boardriders morph similar Skate/Skim Boarding technique.
Each redefining their signature lower wider stance to rotate air recovery tuck into shallow water.
Only way they can compete with flyweight lady birds that flutter & bounce off the surface.

Thanks to Leilani Ettel for sharing Interesting Photo/s)
*(Hollow) Stacked Block Wall + Sandbags (Mentioned often above)
Seems they must stack/ unstack light blocks > Reconfigure them to suit Occasion / Wave Type
If ya check the Vidz you'll see sandbags in them to block Bigger Comp Day wash > direct Crowd movement.

First All Hail the new traditional random cheesy Yank Toy Boy to officiate the show & away we go!

Comp Live Vid (Weather was Gloomy but not Menacing)

Of interest is Adaptive :
* RC Helmet expanding WSL Wearable Comp Tech > Wavepool
* Wade Assist exempted to leave Flippers on Shore (vs) Line-Up (Flippers / Leash- Float / Cam Rule)
* Assistant must handle her flippers if/when she enters deeper water ( Yanks Toyz are exempted )
* German commentary goes to great lengths on Assist procedure
Safety is Mandatory during Association Civic operation but Foreign non citizen Demos are exempt!

You'll see all viewing zones full but not packed > Coz they operate a Strict Cap Rotation Queue
So there would likely be a band of curious local latecomers queuing to access Final that may of missed out.
Top Deck wire rails / Block Wall Pool Drop 'Grom supervision' is risky ~ being the line in the sand compromise!
3x Supervised 'Shifty Block Entry points' would be to accommodate Adaptive Competitors access to the Pool
So them Dodgy moveable Blocks > Box Tick Nat Champs Adaptive compliance (Got It!)
Ok! That answers the Dodgy makeshift Block Wall riddle > Adaptive compliance > Lift Arms / Wheel Chairs.

Overzealous Broadcaster & Back Trax were toned down towards Pro Booth Final calls!
