- It was more than just a press conference - it was a glimpse into the future of surfing.
Camilla Kemp and Tim Elter, newly qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, are in the spotlight.
Their story - from the first waves to the international world stage - symbolizes the fighting spirit and talent that German surfing has to offer.
On May 28, 2024, Camilla and Tim put their extraordinary skills to the test in Hallbergmoos in front of the international press.
“It is an incredible feeling to be the first woman to compete at the Olympic Games - the Olympic wave in Tahiti is a great challenge that I am happy to accept and prove my skills there," Camilla Kemp explained enthusiastically.
"The O2 SurfTown MUC now gives us an arena where we can bring surfing to the masses and inspire the next generation with our passion,
The German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) also expressed its delight at the developments in German surfing.
"We are delighted that the German surfers Camilla Kemp and Tim Elter will be competing in a sport that is still new to the Olympics."
"Starting places at the Olympics are much harder to achieve in all sports than international competitions or world championships."
"At the same time, the international competition is immense, which makes the qualification even more valuable!"
The German Surfing Association supports the athletes on their way and has accompanied them for years.
Their hard training led them to the gates of Munich, to Hallbergmoos. Tom Kronenbürger, Vice President of "Deutscher Wellenreitverband e.V.", emphasized.
"We are incredibly proud that Camilla and Tim will represent Germany at the Olympic Games."
"With the O2 SurfTown MUC, we now have a training facility that offers optimal conditions for competition preparation."
"Something like this has clearly been missing in Germany and will significantly raise the level of surfing in the sport."
Germany's first and Europe's largest surf park offers our Olympians a 20,000 m² arena that will provide not only professionals but also beginners and visitors with a unique experience from summer 2024 - from sport to culture and relaxation.
With tailor-made waves for all skill levels, surf courses, and an architecturally unique restaurant, O2 SurfTown MUC sets new standards in leisure activities.
A fascinating combination of top-class sport and technological masterpiece - a rare insight that has the potential to change the world of sport.
Before the facility officially opens in the summer, members of the press were able to take an exclusive first look at the wave pool and experience its premiere during a test demonstration.
The waves are generated by the unique Endless Surf wave technology, which is based on air pressure.
The surf park is still being completed, which is why an exact opening date has not yet been set.
Tim Elter added:
"The training opportunities here are simply incredible."
"The support from the German Surfing Association and O2 SurfTown MUC is priceless for us athletes."
"Our journey from the first waves to qualifying for the Olympics was full of highs and lows."
"We experienced setbacks but also celebrated successes. Every day on the water has shaped and strengthened us to prepare for this moment."
Chris Boehm-Tettelbach, Founder & CEO of O2 SurfTown MUC, explained:
"Our vision was to create a surf destination that inspires both pros and beginners. Today's premiere has shown that we are on the right track."
"The O2 SurfTown MUC sets a new dimension in surfing, as well as in leisure activities."
"It will prepare Camilla and Tim for their big competition."
"It makes us incredibly proud that we can accompany Camilla and Tim on their way to Tahiti and that we can now offer them training opportunities in Germany. We wish them every success."
Camilla Kemp and Tim Elter's qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games marks another milestone for German surfing.
With O2 SurfTown MUC as an innovative training facility and the support of the German Surfing Association, they have a promising future ahead of them.

I live in Tahiti French polynesia, there are waves all around the island, we have Teahupoo, but this pool is so cool, we want one like this in Tahiti !!
Beautiful video!!!
Nice!!! ... and way more convincing than the first video release ;)
this looks unreal, great job! and impressive surfing
Perfect to learn!!
This is sick, best ripable wave, except kelly's, i have seen so far. Amazing colour aswell
Very impressive surfing by two German citizen...I doubt they are both full time German residents....(cannot say I can compete at that level even after 25+ years of very regular practise :-). Looking forward to hopefully get a similar park in northern Germany (Werne).
Anyhow, well done for getting it off the ground and spreading the stoke!
If it was just a foot or so bigger.
Great video me gusta 😊❤🤙🏄
When is the opening?
water looks inviting and nice, and more so because chlorine purification is not used. how do you say " dude bro " in German. I wonder if the designed for board riding waves would mean much to a body surfer .
Nice! When is it open??
Summer 2024.
See you soon😊
Angel music 👼👼👼
So...basically a weak cross between PSSC and BSR?
Looks fun to me....but hey...always gotta be someone like you to comment like this right?
Aim to make waves bigger, pls
This is how surfing will become an Olympic event when every wave is the same. Ocean surfing is and always will be 99% beyond a walk in the park.
Surfing is whatever it is wherever you can get it. You don't get to define it no matter how cool and "core" you think you are. In fact, your comment basically proves you're a poser.
@@doublestrokeroll calling names is taking a disagreement a little far, in my book. poser is a pretty big insult
@@richardelliott8352 Here's the thing.....I don't suffer fools. Ever. And I don't like bullies. So I bully bullies and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. If someone is going to make ignorant comments that suggest there is a "right" way to approach a subjective topic, then they will hear about it from me.
Poser is the perfect word because that's what people are who think that only their way is the "correct" way. He could have just said, "I will always prefer ocean surfing to pools" but no....he feels the need to belittle something else to make himself feel better about his subjective opinion.
sleep
Wave pool for ants?!?
Oh no, more euro kooks in 2 years time🤦🏽♂️
as opposed to what? Kooks like you who think their "core" or something?
Wave pools will create more kooks that eventually will pack all surf spots. The lucrative benefits for some are harm for others.
Not kooks as usual bud.These neokooks will have a solid takeoff and pump ,plus bottom,top turn and cutback skills.
They may suck at reading waves but they will be young and very fit and they will take lots of waves and ride them.
Surfing was a joke anyway, crowds grown exponentially in the last 10 years.
OK cool guy. You're SOOOO "core". Nobody's as "true" a surfer as you are.
Wave looks pretty but also lame with no power at all. No thrust
I guess it will get bigger, they wrote on website till 2 meter
Trust me it has power
@@noahobt1739 let see… would like to see a bodyboarder on it. That’s the easiest way to know if the wave have enough power. Most of those wavepool are Design to look impressive on instagram or videos. They should build it taking other things in consideration. But like I said… let’s wait and see. Until now I’m not so impressed
the setting in the video is the „2m“ setting
Destroying surf culture
nope. it really isn't. lame attitudes like yours are.
Absolut unnötige Energieverschwendung...
Music is about as boring as the wave looks 🥱
concrete walls and fences and surf for 50-80 euro an hour? Not my cup of tea....sorry guys
If you live in Germany how much does it cost per wave somewhere else? You need to take holidays, book a flight, hotel, meals, equipment, transportation, etc.
yeah you have the Eisbach but it is getting crowded. It is a nice way to practice it in an affordable way actually. We will see.
Nobody's making you go or watch or comment. Yet you feel the need to be a person like this. Says more about you than the wave.
Surfing is GAY! Don’t do it
