HOW DOES IT WORK?

Just the natural force of the river allows you to surf together with your friends. With the help of a pulley system and an underwater sail, the river speed is used to accelerate the surfer. And this is how it works:


The patented UP STREAM system consists of the following three parts: Underwater sail, pulley, rope. To operate the system, at least two people are needed. The pulley must be attached to a fixed point (e.g. a bridge). Once in the water, the surfer drifts downstream, and the sail at the other end of the rope is pulled upstream to the pulley.


Since the sail floats on the river surface by means of floats on the front, the necessary resistance to the current is not applied until the second person at the other end of the sail (without floats) pushes on the end of the sail. The surfer can now accelerate and be pulled upstream as the current pushes the underwater sail downstream and the pulley translates and redirects this energy.


With UP-Stream Surfing you can experience St. Johann from the water and surf in the middle of the Salzach against the current. No matter if you have no surfing experience or if you are a pipeline veteran.
