"We as a species are connected to the ocean. All living thing come from the ocean. Body Surfing is a chance to get back to your roots, It's the ability to feel the energy." Laird Hamilton

Brrr! Chillin' with Inner-City Surfers

Surfers will do anything to catch a wave - even when they're in a city.

And, despite being 500 miles away from the coast, these hardy surf dudes in Germany are no different. Braving freezing cold water, they flock to Munich's only chance of riding a board in the hope of catching a freak wave that reaches just 3ft.  

The unique standing wave is on the city's Eisbach River and has encouraged a lively surf scene – and a new niche industry along with it.  Some of the city's river riders are even starting to make a name for themselves outside of Germany with their urban brand of the water sport.
