THE.RIVERWAVE

With THE.RIVERWAVE you will get the unique opportunity to go surfing all year round far away from any ocean in the middle of the Alps in Austria. The way it works is based on a physical principal called hydraulic jump. We do not need any extra source of energy to create THE.RIVERWAVE. We only need the river's natural source of energy - water and flow. With two connected but individually adjustable flaps called WaveShaper, we can produce Europe's biggest artificial river wave. Channelling the water of the river Traun and manipulating the flow with our WaveShaper, we can produce a 10 meter wide and up to 1.5 meter high surfable standing wave, ideal for landlocked surfers trying to maintain their surfskills or hone their skills for their next surf trip. Moreover, it is also ideal for firsttimers or people only wanting to suck in some surf vibes! With the WaveShaper we have the opportunity to adjust the wave's face to different skill levels, so everybody from firsttimers all the way up to pro level surfers can enjoy THE.RIVERWAVE!

The way you surf THE.RIVERWAVE is simple. Just book your daily ticket online and go surfing all the way till dusk on your day of choice. If you have and bring your own surfequipment, that's perfect - if not, don't worry, we've got you coverd! You can rent the entire surf equipment at THE.RIVERWAVE ranging from safety equipment to soft- & hardboards, wetsuits and booties. So the only things you really need are a pair of swim trunks/bikini and a towel - we also provide a warm shower for colder days in the year!

For all the hungry surfers out there:

THE.RIVERWAVE also has it's own little Snack-Shack, where you can grab yourself a drink or a nice cup of coffee, as well as some food.

THE.RIVERWAVE is located in Ebensee, Austria.

Ebensee is a small village surrounded by mountains lying at the southern end of one of Austria's lovliest lakes - Traunsee! Ebensee is also near historical villages like Bad Ischl or Hallstatt which are worth seeing!

There are several ways you can get to THE.RIVERWAVE.

There is a train station right around the corner. When you come by car, please make sure you use the designated parking area - it's hidden up in the woods - nice and shady!

Note: You are not allowed to camp at our parking area. But that isn't a big deal. There are two designated campsites 5 minutes from THE.RIVERWAVE located directly next Traunsee with all the needs for campers!
