Riversurfing Switzerland | EPISODE 1 : Searching Waves

Episode 1 shows the beginning of our search for river waves in Switzerland, the challenges we faced and how we figured out what it needed for a good riverwave to run smoothly. It also shows how we gained experience in the ocean abroad and on artificial waves in Switzerland. Last but not least it shows, that only maybe it is not just by pure chance, that we walk away unharmed every single time after surfing flooded riverwaves since over 17 years. This Episode already answers some of the questions from reader comments in recent critical newspaper articles about flood riversurfing.
