Did you know?

When surfing on the Rhine, up to 6 people share one boat – each person gets around 10–30 minutes of active surf time in the middle of the Rhine right in Cologne.

Surfing on the Rhine

Sessions take place on the Rhine within Cologne city limits. Participants enter the water directly from a boat and are coached throughout by an instructor on board.

Surft.Haus and Community

Community is central to what surft.kologne offers. The Surft.Haus acts as a shared hub where members can get involved in the project and spend time together — on and off the water.

Courses and Travel

Beyond regular Rhine sessions, surft.kologne organises courses and trips. Surf safaris take the whole community out together to catch waves further afield.
