Pororoca - the standing wave

Tropical Islands makes it possible: surfing in the tropics. Feel like you're on holiday on the waves of Hawaii - in Brandenburg, very close to Berlin! The attraction is proudly called Pororoca, which means "big rumble". The phenomenon occurs once a year on the Amazon. Triggered by the tides, at full moon, especially in March and April, the tidal wave is pushed up the Amazon River by the ocean. The waves can reach a height of up to four metres in some places, making it a mecca for surfers.

Meanwhile we have you covered with all the gear, professional equipment, the leash to secure the board and the board bag. Although the Pororoca has impressive dimensions - you won't get lost in the open water.
Summer comes with good vibes, and a good mood is guaranteed while surfing, as well as a refreshing dip or two.
It's easy to learn surf technique. Before starting the session, you will watch a short training film and receive a short instruction. After which you can head into the waves. Small tip: it is easier when lying or kneeling.

The system uses the physical principle of the standing wave. An artificial water wave is created in a padded pool, for example by lying on your stomach. bodyboarding. The surf wave difficulty can be  adjusteds so it is suitable for children and beginners as well as professionals. Of course, everything is continuously supervised by our trained staff. Renting a surfboard and a wetsuit, if required, is already included in the user fee for the wave.
