Vienna City-Surfspot - 3CityWave

(Source: Internet)

With an artificial water wave, the 3CityWave, an impressive surfing spot will be opening right in the middle of the city on June 10 (until September 30), in front of the Hochstrahlbrunnen fountain at Schwarzenbergplatz.

Until the end of September 2016, anyone can learn to surf the waves in this area spanning 1,000 m2. The citywave machine creates a consistent water pressure and a constant 1.4 meter high wave that can be surfed using regular surfboards. It is 100% hydro-powered. Anyone who doesn’t wish to surf can enjoy the sun deck, with sun lounges, music, and culinary delights in the food area, or can shop for surfing accessories and streetwear or try out cell phones and tablets in the attached shop.
