Recapping Surftown Flow Culture
Thru summer several weekly Rafts of 60 surf 30kms at speeds of 40km/hr into Surftown.

There the Eisbach runs thru Largest inner city World Surf Park...42million a year
Size of 640 Football Pitches > 75km paths-Roads + 2km flowing Surf Circuit
Most year-round Visitors are sightseers apart from Summer...Gone Surfin'!
Signs : [ Surfing / Swimming prohibited ]

Peak Surfing Season (Water Temp) 15-20* June/July/Aug
Following numbers were cross sampled from many Vids / Images to reveal similar # over & often.
Assumes most vids / images are during most accessible Peak Summer season

7,200/hr Bodysurfers (1/hr session Daily > Locals Verified 5 sessions/week at Dedicated Hang!)
Illegal swimmers Hot Spot...'Complimentary' Tram Rescue Service returns "At Risk!" Swimmers.
re: Oz Bussies gotta save "At Risk Kidz" > Here each Swimmer is an at risk passenger! (Can't say No!)
Strictly refers to Local Body Surfer's here-say...as such regular exercise is deemed illegal!

7,000/hr Bathers / Dippers (Mostly Blow-ins > At various pads / diversions along Surf Circuit)

1,000/hr Nudists > 200/hr bathe > 20/hr bodysurf Separate Lone Larger ramped Weir currents

All Year Round Visitors > Engage the Eisbach but less so thru the Winter months
3,000/hr Full Attire Sightseers (Crisscross / Hangs at 70 bridges) over the 2km Surf Circuit
Boardrider Hangs
360/hr Repeat Board-rides in Split Queues of 15 on both banks
400/hr Surf Flow Spectators (Restricted Paths / Bridge viewing)
300/hr Repeat Board-rides in single bank Queues of 10 at other 2 Flows + 50/hr spectators

Clear to all that Boardriders / Spectators spend longer near Bridges / Bus / Transit / Stores!
Interesting to see Metro Trains do allow passengers with Boards to access Eisbach.
Boardriders Build a cross canal Beer Bridge > Passes Pub Test Sticker [Buy more, dump more sh*t]
Seems like many EU YouTube vidz are blanking out in Oz Zones...Still should play alright!

Ironic that Boardriders spend least time in Eisbach Lineup...5 secs delays for 5 second lone average ride
Boardriders avoid full natural Surf Circuit (Remaining fully suited above same Flow Zone each session)
Eisbach Line Up is reverse...(Note) Bodysurfers / Swimmers surf thru drydocked Boardrider Bus Stops!

Novelty Surf Village Attraction
Fully Suited 24/7 Boardrider Localism locks in Year Round Novelty o's Boyz Toyz Flow Wave attraction.
Also, Summer Mass Bodysurf Circuit equally attracts jealous o's City folk.(Long Free Ride - f*ck Yeah!)
Whole surftown wave circuit attracts overseas alternate reverse downtown city life surf stoke curiosity.
Everything is back to front...& the locals & blowins are supa-stoked...Wotz not to love!

Wave Trains
(Main Bridge Flow)
5 second (Wave Train turnover) Best o/s Pro Rides 10secs > Local 20secs > Urban Legends 1min retire!
Alt Share-Weir Flows (Summertime)
Bodysurfers tend to group in Packs of 20 > (Allow 10 secs for Boardrider) Flows next 20 Bodysurfers!
Across Canal Body Surfer's Rope is used to detour Flow Wave to clear Longer Boardrider Queues!
One group may slow fellow Bodysurfers thru alt detour gate > to alleviate growing boardriders queue!
No Rules No Rage sporting gesture to detour an exit to share the Flow Wave! Extraordinary Surf Stoke!
Must return to further review this harmonious Rebel Outpost of united crews of banned surfers.
Note these poor half naked Boardriders share Lineup with Half Naked Bully Bodysurfers! Tough Gig!
Interesting to see more of this Alt Wave for more natural order Surf culture...pretty rare & cool huh!

Zones + Avg Wave Trains > Levels > Height / Price Guide
Endless Surf 16 surfers in 4 Wave Zones = 64 x 12 / 8.5sec rides/hr
Roughly about half as slow as Eisbach Wave Train with twice as long rides or (Visiting pro length rides!)

We can assume edgy Locals will make the take off but blow the recover from their first Maneuver.
Following riders will have a clear take off to bust first move then land on fellow Kook!
3rd Surfer will make Take Off and bust a move but mid Line-up will then be mined with crab pots.
Wave 4 will need clearing before continuing! That's how the Eisbach Locals roll in Endless Surf Shire!

[Outer Zones] > All access order to [Inner Zones] Line Up +Wave Heights + Prices
tbb covered and linked all Zones above...check with last post...for Zone Layout.

[Zone 6] Warm Up [Zone 4] Waiting / Entry [Zones 5 >2] Wade + [Zones 5 >3] Paddle Out
Progress thru to Line Up Zones
[Zone 2] (Coach) Kook 0.5m > Rookie 0.7m (Beginners 2hrs) Pre Sale $97
[Zone 2] > Progressive 1.0m > [Zone 1] (Coaching > Lineup Reforms)

[Zone 2] > Guided > [Zone 1] 12 waves/hr sessions) Intermediate 1.4m > Advanced 1.7m

[Zone 1] (A Frame) > [Zone 3] (Point 18sec ) Expert 1.9m > Pro 2.1m (Presale A Frame only $130)

Comps / Tour Events : Crowd 400+400 (Little more is said on this!)
WSL Partnered Sponsors CT RipCurl / Oakley / Sun Bum + QS Mastercard + BWT Tudor + Red Bull
It seems likely that Pool will host National Comps > RipCurl Gromz / QS up to CS Events...

Traditional German Wavehause 2036 Olympic Bid warrants a default lone WSL CT Qualifier / Training!
Reminding that Germany has Iconic Wave Pool Tradition...few can argue against Traditional Surf Stoke!
tbb presents best case scenario...Exhibiting National Traditional Lifestyle is rewarded in Olympic Ideal.
Germany presents obvious organic Olympic Wave Pool inclusion...but...
Namibia recognizes German Language / Population & seeks reparations. (Skeleton Bay Olympic Ideal?)

Recapping Munich Surftown opens next month...should see first Endless Surf waves in a month or so!
