But this is not a new phenomenon as surfers flock to the wave since 1972 and has held several surfing competitions. As a wave is fixed, it can only be surfed until it loses its balance, and is very common to see long queues at the bank, especially during the weekends.

However, the German authorities are under discussion since 2008 about the possibility of destroying the wave (formed by a rock), to avoid problems in the area. All this has been caused by the death of a person in 2007, but surfers and kayakers say that this is a specific event that has nothing to do with the world of surfing.
