FAQ STILL QUESTIONS?

You can currently make your dream of a tube ride come true in our Expert Session in A-Frame mode. In the first half of our Expert A-Frame Session, you'll get a turn-focused wave for vertical top-to-bottom surfing, followed by hollow breaking waves for barrel rides in the second half.

 Each surf session includes at least 55 minutes of water time in the wave pool.

Depending on the skill level, every session also features a detailed briefing and debriefing outside the pool.

In total, sessions last between 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours.

 

 

 

 

 

There will be a maximum of 14 surfers per Surfzone, depending on the mode you will get a minimum of 10 or 12 waves. Just like in the ocean, you will surf your wave and paddle back into the lineup afterwards. Our surf coaches and lifeguards make sure that there is a non-competitive and good vibe on the water so everyone will have a great surf experience. Like this we can guarantee a fair amount of wave attempts per session for every surfer.

In our wave pool, surfing takes place in up to four different zones at the same time. There is a maximum of 14 surfers per surf zone. Due to the limited number of surfers per zone, you are guaranteed a fair amount of wave attempts in a relaxed lineup.

Our Kids, First-Timer, Rookie, and Progressive-Coached Sessions include dedicated coaching from our professional surf coaches. In the Progressive-Guided, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, an experienced guide is available to provide tips and answer any questions. Starting at the Expert level, you can enjoy our "free surf" sessions, where you ride the waves without a coach or guide.

All our sessions are continuously monitored by our professional lifeguards.

For the Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert levels, we are also developing specialized coaching options that will be available in the near future.

 

 

 



Our regular session-packages can be used in the A-Frame mode and in the Beginner-Zone.

For our Pointbreak mode we offer separate packages.

At O2 SURFTOWN MUC, you can surf any surfboard you like. From shortboards to longboards, we offer suitable waves for every style and level of surfing. With our surf rental you have the opportunity to test high-quality surfboards of all shapes and sizes. Our beginner sessions include learner-friendly softboards.

For children aged 6 to 10, we offer special surf courses with a playful coaching approach. Currently, we do not offer any family packages - but you can of course enjoy a surf session as a family with your kids from the age of 11 years.

 

For independent and safe bodyboarders, we can offer to participate in our regular surf sessions from the Intermediate level. Currently, we do not offer beginner courses or special sessions for bodyboarders. For safety reasons we do not allow surfing with stand-up paddle boards in our regular surf sessions. However, we are planning to offer special stand-up paddle sessions in the future.

In our beginner zone, only softboards are permitted. These are included in the session price. If you have your own softboard, you’re welcome to bring it along.

For the Progressive Session (coached), only softboards are allowed. However, in the Progressive Session (guided), you can use a hardboard.

From the Intermediate level onward, you’re more than welcome to bring your own hardboard.

 

 

 

We recommend you arriving about an hour before your session starts. This will allow you plenty of time to check in, rent your equipment, and change, so you can start to your briefing stress-free and on time.

The briefing is mandatory for safety reasons before every session. Please allow enough time to be at the appropriate briefing zone on time and ready to surf.

 

 

Yes, you’re welcome to book multiple sessions back-to-back so you can surf continuously without taking long breaks. Please inform both the check-in staff and your surf coach in advance if you’ve booked two sessions for the same day. However, it’s important that you briefly exit the water after your first session to check in with your surf coach for the second session. This ensures everything runs smoothly and that all participants are accounted for.

 

 

In our A-Frame mode, you have to decide before booking whether you want to surf lefts or rights in a session. Changing the side of the wave during a session is not possible.

In our A-Frame mode, waves breaks from the center of the surf pool to the left and right. This creates rights and lefts simultaneously. 
In our Point Break mode, the waves run along the entire length of the pool. Our Point Break mode allows waves with rides up to 18 seconds long.

In our Pointbreak mode we offer sessions for the surf levels Intermediate, Advanced and Expert.
