Munich without the Eisbach and its surf culture would not be Munich.

Between the weirdness that is German landlocked surf culture (expensive gear, video analysis, surf skates and doing shit like expelling the GOAT from the wave) the Eisbach is a one-of-a-kind place that means a lot to me and to many other members of the community.

Now that I rarely get a chance to surf the river wave, I find myself thinking back to sessions 17 years ago, when I was just an obsessed grom. The gossip, the small beefs between regulars, different characters of all ages, and hour-long sessions with friends that I still know today. Simply put, this wave in the middle of a city is a bizarre and special place, unlike any other.

To see the river wave and its culture disappear, along with so many other cultural, art, and community spaces in the city of Munich, hits hard. This city really seems to struggle with keeping those places alive, to put it nicely. Munich has a history of decimating anything that doesn’t fit into its commercial image. It might have now also turned its back on the river wave and its community. It’s a shame to see Munich slowly but surely saying goodbye to its culture, from music and the arts to now, potentially, the Eisbach.

Happy to be proven wrong.

Climate × Sports | Marc Chavez

‘Surfing is a cultural practice, not just a sport.’

In conversation with Marc Chavez, Founder and Director of Native Like Water, a San Diego–based NGO working across borders — from Mexico to Hawai‘i, Jamaica, Panama, and beyond — with one goal: indigenising education and bringing Indigenous youth back to the shore.

In NLW’s work, surfing plays an integral role. As Marc says, ‘If my job is to help rehabilitate youth, get them on the right path, or help them overcome trauma, then surfing and nature do all the heavy lifting.’

Marc — an educator, advocate, and surfer of Nahua, Michoacán, and New Mexican–Spanish descent — founded Native Like Water after navigating his own early experiences of disconnection and the failures of conventional schooling. For him, surfing can be a form of cultural and ecological stewardship that restores Indigenous knowledge, strengthens community, and rebuilds relationships between people and places where they were once native to.

‘Surfing connects you to that larger space — to the bigger conversation of global climate change and how we’re all connected. Surfing makes you a kind of global citizen. Not all surfers are environmentally conscious, but it still places you in direct relationship with the natural world. You’re constantly monitoring, constantly one with what’s happening around you — more than most people I know. Surfing brings a lot of parallels to an Indigenous way of life — because it’s, in a way, how our ancestors lived.’

Read the full interview Native Like Water with Marc Chavez to explore NLW’s mission, the importance of integrating Indigenous perspectives into conservation, and what it truly means to regenerate a place — not only restoring native plants and animals, but also the people who once belonged to that land and water.
