River Surfing Summit in Prague: A Global Gathering of the River Surfing Community
This past weekend, Prague once again transformed into the capital of river surfing. From Friday, October 11th, to Sunday, October 13th, the 2nd International River Surfing Summit took place on Prague’s Štvanice Island. Surfers from eight nations, representing a total of 20 river waves and projects, came together to exchange ideas, attend lectures, and surf together.
A Meeting Point for Passion and Innovation
For the first time, participants from the USA and Italy joined this year’s summit, highlighting the increasing internationalization of the river surfing community. An important fact is that last year it was still a European summit, and this year marked the first international summit of its kind. The passion for the sport was also evident when a surfer traveled ten hours in his T3 VW bus from Switzerland to be part of the event.
