River Surfing in Freiburg

It's probably something that all of us have experienced before: Just when you think things can't get any worse, something else happens and makes your day shine bright :-)
Exactly this happened to me last weekend. It had been raining for days and it didn't look like it would get any better soon. I was close to tally this summer as being done and over with and I was already getting prepared for a long and weary winter ;-) Exactly on this very day a friend called me up and said: "Let's go surfing!"
Here is the deal: our small river that runs through Freiburg was actually carrying so much water that it generated a standing wave just a kilometer outside the city. Can you believe it?! So we really did go surfing in the middle of the Black Forest :-) Aloha!! Check it out:
