Hallbergmoos/Munich, April 2026 – Citroën is the new official automotive partner of O₂ SURFTOWN MUC in Hallbergmoos. A Citroën C5 Aircross is on display at the facility year-round, complemented by a workbench stocked with surfing equipment for preparation between sessions. In addition, Citroën is providing the O₂ SURFTOWN MUC team with eight fleet vehicles.
O₂ SURFTOWN MUC is Germany’s only wave pool—featuring Europe’s longest artificial wave and the world’s leading pneumatic endless surf technology. This makes it a training ground for Olympic athletes and a showcase for modern surfing. Citroën, the official automotive partner of Team Germany, brings both worlds together through this partnership.
The first highlight of the collaboration: the Rip Curl Nations Trophy presented by Citroën on May 9, 2026—Europe’s most spectacular team surfing contest on a 180-meter artificial wave, featuring an international field of competitors.
This will be followed in September by the Rip Curl Grom Search presented by Citroën (September 18–19, 2026), the world’s most significant platform for young surfers.
“Citroën and O₂ SURFTOWN MUC share the same drive: we want to move people—both literally and figuratively. I’m looking forward to everything we’ll accomplish together.”
– Chris Boehm-Tettelbach, CEO & Founder of O₂ SURFTOWN MUC
“Our vehicles are built for outdoor fun. Spacious, comfortable, and easy to maintain, they are the ideal companions for surfing trips. The Citroën brand embodies accessibility, creativity, and fun—and thus a lifestyle-oriented spirit of freedom, adventure, and community—which is why the partnership with O₂ SURFTOWN MUC is the perfect fit for us and our adventurous customers.”
– Thomas Goldboom, Managing Director of Citroën Germany
