Hallbergmoos/Munich, September 2025 – After the Nations Trophy comes the next highlight: just a few weeks later, Red Bull is bringing a completely new contest format to Germany with Pool Clash – and celebrating its premiere at O₂ SURFTOWN MUC.
Full starting field, full of style
The starting places for the event were completely sold out shortly after the announcement on June 21 – International Go Surfing Day. No wonder: Red Bull Pool Clash is aimed at Germany's best amateur surfers and focuses on a format that is more than just a classic competition. The focus is on creativity, style, and risk-taking – not scores and point lists.
Jam sessions & head-to-head battles
Instead of rigid rules, there are open jam sessions in which the 112 participants can give free rein to their creativity. They are judged in the categories of creativity, flow, and risk. The best surfers then advance to the finals, where they compete in a head-to-head knockout mode. The winners are crowned in a best-of-5 format – including two wildcards for the 2026 German Championship.
Festival flair at O2 SURFTOWN MUC
For the audience, the Pool Clash means a whole day of surfing action in a unique atmosphere. In addition to the contest itself, guests can expect a varied supporting program with food trucks, music, and an official afterparty right on the premises.
Admission is free – everyone is welcome.
