A project years in the making is almost ready in Rotterdam’s city centre, just outside of the Markthal. RiF010 is a surfing project opening on a canal in Rotterdam. Think of it like an urban wave pool. A new wave is generated every 7 seconds, with an average of 330 waves per hour in total. There are also different waves for beginners versus experts. It is currently open for testers but it will open in July for everyone. A ticket to surf costs 50 euros per hour, but considering how unique this is, a lot of people will probably pay this price.
Here is a video from the Dutch broadcaster NOS so you can see the waves in action.
But that video is quite possibly geoblocked, so here is a short clip from YouTube for viewers not in the Netherlands (although it is probably too short and doesn’t show the different types of waves):
