Munich, July 28, 2022: <\/strong>The construction of SURFTOWN\u00ae MUC<\/a> was announced to the public last year as Europe’s largest surf pool, with overwhelming media attention<\/a>. Since then, the developers have consistently forged the project ahead, finding solutions for the structural and technical requirements in close cooperation with the responsible authorities. In particular, the self-imposed goal to realize climate-neutral and sustainable concepts required time-consuming approaches and innovative answers. Today, SURFTOWN MUC, featuring Endless Surf technology, celebrates their official groundbreaking with representatives present from the political, business, and surfing communities. Situated close to the Munich Airport at Lilienthalstrasse 12 in Hallbergmoos, the world-class surf park facility is slated to test operations in late 2023 and officially open to the public in the spring of 2024.<\/p>\n

We are thrilled and proud to get closer each day to our dream of surfing near Munich\u201d, says Chris Boehm-Tettelbach, CEO of SURFTOWN\u00ae MUC<\/strong>. \u201cMy sincere thanks go to the municipality of Hallbergmoos, which has accepted the challenges of our forward-thinking project with remarkable pioneering spirit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Marking a major milestone for the city, Josef Niedermair, Mayor Hallbergmoos says: <\/strong><\/p>\n

For the municipality, SURFTOWN\u00ae MUC is a historic opportunity that everyone can benefit from.

The organically shaped surf lagoon by Endless Surf technology<\/a> is 180 meters long and is incredibly flexible when it comes to operating configurations and customizable wave production. Most notably, Endless Surf can produce a “peeling wave” along its entire length, offering up a 20 second ride for surfers. The design of the surrounding buildings picks up the water theme with a reminiscent of the shape of a breaking wave. The overall result is a facility where athletes as well as the general public can look forward to a visit with high recreational value: an outdoor fitness area, a children’s playground and the beach area with many facilities to lay down and relax. In combination with a contemporary gastronomic concept, the complex is intended to convey the special surfing lifestyle that is so attractive for many people. The idea of the developers of SURFTOWN\u00ae MUC is also to create a meeting place for the region: from onlookers to employees on their lunch break, from young surfing talents to families and children who want to spend an extraordinary day outdoors. Even International Championships can take place at SURFTOWN MUC, thanks to the flexible wave design with heights from 30cm to 2.5 meters.<\/p>\n

At the core of all our planning is the unique surfing experience, which should provide visitors – from absolute novices to Olympians – a safe environment for everything that makes this sport such a passion,” says Chief Surfing Officer Michi Mohr.<\/strong> “And that includes an innovative surf school and coaching concept for beginners, intermediate surfers and pros, in addition to a relaxed and cool ambience and additional outdoor sports facilities.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In order to serve the various dimensions of sustainability, different ecological, economic, and social factors were considered for the conception of SURFTOWN\u00ae MUC. The overall goal is to make the facility climate-neutral and to focus on renewable energy and water-saving measures:<\/p>\n
