#Munich, #Germany
The Surf Club Munich has abandoned its efforts to restore the famous Eisbach river wave after city officials removed a makeshift structure installed by surfers. Franz Fasel criticized the Munich administration for imposing excessive safety demands and indemnity agreements following the wave's disappearance during sediment removal in October. City authorities defended the removal as a necessary safety measure after a surfer died in May and warned that concrete blocks currently make the site hazardous.Franz FaselSurf Club MunichMunich University of Applied Sciences
