Urban Surfing in Munich

So, we were walking to an appointment this week when we came across something I have never seen.  There was a huge river flowing through an aquduct kind of thing.  In any case, the amount of water coming out from under this bridge caused a constant 6 or so foot wave.  And here is the crazy part-- people were surfing on it!  There were probably 12 or 13 surfers waiting on the bank of the river for their turn.  Apparently, the water is ice cold and it's super dangerous to surf on-- when you fall, you can really slam down on rocks or who knows what-- but that didn't stop these guys.  They were way good!
 
After a couple pictures, we headed off to our appointment.  It was probably the coolest thing I've seen in Munich.
