WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

The Jochen Schweizer Arena is located next to the A8 close to Taufkirchen and can be easily accessed by car. But you can also use public transportation and get there by bus. The closest bus stop is called Hugo-Junkers-Straße.

The location itself opened its doors on March 4 in 2017. Thus, it became the first ever indoor wave in Germany. The Citywave technology can now be found on many other artificial waves.

Powering such a wave needs energy - the good thing is, here, at the Jochen Schweizer Arena, this energy is generated through renewable sources. Additionally, the consumption is linked to the usage. That means, if you don't surf, now power gets wasted.

Next to your surf session, you can also expect really good food in the "Schweizer's Kitchen" or a cool drink. Also, don't miss out on the numerous events there.

THE WAVE

The Jochen Schweizer Arena wave works on the basis of the patented Citywave technology, which is used in many popular standing waves. Because of its artificial generation, all parameters of the wave can be adjusted continuously. Thus, the wave can be adapted to the needs of all surfing skill levels.

From a beginner session with a holding bar attached in front of the wave to a powerful contest wave, everything is possible. Therefore, the wave is equally suitable for beginners, intermediates, as well as pros.

You never stood on such a wave before or you are ready to step up your surfing game? The team of the Jochen Schweizer Arena offers numerous sessions with professional surf coaches on hand. We can highly recommend their coaching sessions. You will get all the support you need to progress easily with their know-how. If you do not have a suitable surfboard already, that is no problem. At the reception, where you will also get all the information about your session, you can rent all the KANOA boards that match the wave perfectly. Just ask nicely and they will assist you. (:

By the way, a session at the JSA lasts 45 minutes in small groups, which gives you enough time to get used to the wave and get the best out of your stay.

“Wellenwerk is really one of my favorite waves. The scene there is super nice and the wave itself is super wide and has a lot of pressure. This just gives you more possibilities for aggressive turns or tricks. “
