Pictures must credit: Meyer Floating Solutions/Floating Wave
Surf lovers will soon be able to enjoy their favourite pastime — moored on a river.
German company Floating Wave is to install a first-of-its-kind floating surf platform designed to bring an authentic surfing experience to towns and cities.
?The platform is set to be installed in Hamburg on the river Elbe. In 2026.
The idea is that it will help transform under-utilised harbour areas into a vibrant hub for sports, recreation, and tourism.
Floating Wave says the system offers a sustainable and accessible way for city dwellers to experience high-quality surfing—without needing access to the ocean.
The platform will be built offsite in a controlled environment to minimise construction disruption while ensuring top-tier quality.
Designed to be both scalable and adaptable, the concept is expected to be deployed in various urban and coastal settings around the world.
Floating Wave is envisioned as a year-round destination for both surfers and spectators.
The structure will feature a restaurant, bar, fitness centre, and surf shop, catering to visitors “seeking a mix of adrenaline, leisure, and social experiences.”
The platform is being built by Finland-based Meyer Floating Solutions, which specialises in floating infrastructure.

Icelandic surfers fear port development will ruin 'perfect point break'
Volcanoes, northern lights and midnight sun are all on offer at this haven, which locals want to preserve.
Despite air and water temperatures in the single digits, two surfers and a couple of seals delight in the conditions at Þorlákshöfn in south-west Iceland.
This spot, where surfers can enjoy either the midnight sun or the northern lights depending on the time of year, has in recent years become the heart of Iceland's rapidly growing surfing community.
As well as being one of Iceland's only accessible point breaks (when wave swell strikes a point of land), it boasts unique scenery - the backdrop features several volcanoes - and consistently good waves. With its close proximity to Reykjavík, it has become a destination for locals, professionals and tourists alike.

Icelandic surfers fear port development will ruin 'perfect point break'
Volcanoes, northern lights and midnight sun are all on offer at this haven, which locals want to preserve.
Despite air and water temperatures in the single digits, two surfers and a couple of seals delight in the conditions at Þorlákshöfn in south-west Iceland.
This spot, where surfers can enjoy either the midnight sun or the northern lights depending on the time of year, has in recent years become the heart of Iceland's rapidly growing surfing community.
As well as being one of Iceland's only accessible point breaks (when wave swell strikes a point of land), it boasts unique scenery - the backdrop features several volcanoes - and consistently good waves. With its close proximity to Reykjavík, it has become a destination for locals, professionals and tourists alike.
