Giovane Elber and Claudio Pizarro, two former Bayern attackers, suddenly appear at the Eisbachwelle in the heart of Munich.

They hardly believe their eyes.

Munich - At least September keeps what it has promised over the years.

Neither April, nor May, June or July, and certainly not August, delivered what one expected from a summer *.

And without summer there was also less activity at one of Munich's tourist hotspots - and that doesn't mean the Hofbräuhaus.

True surfers in Munich * defy wind and weather on the Eisbach wave.

With a little more sunshine and summer temperatures, surfing in the English Garden is of course even more fun.

Two FC Bayern legends * recently saw this for themselves.

FC Bayern: Two legends suddenly show up at the Munich hotspot - and can hardly believe their eyes

Giovane Elber and Claudio Pizarro didn't stop by by chance, but rather stopped by the well-known Eisbachwelle as part of the “Munich Pioneer Tour” to see for themselves the skills of the surfers there.

The Peruvian Pizarro was particularly impressed by the watercourse in the Lehel.

“It's a real wave, wow!

I didn't know that ”, the ex-attacker was amazed when he glanced at the Eisbach wave on the bridge by Elber's side.

The Brazilian Elber was very impressed by the skills of the surfers present and immediately spoke to them to get a few tips for colleague Pizarro so that he can get on the board later (small spoiler, he didn't do it in the end) .

The two surfers that the FCB legend was so impressed with are Bene and Marcel from "RIOT Surfboards", who sell surfboards in Munich.

After a warm welcome, the two water sports enthusiasts explained how they got into the sport and how their small company has developed in recent years.

Then the two boys report on the "vibe" of the Eisbach wave and that surfers can be found there at any time of the day or night.

Even if the FCB legends had hoped that they would soon be able to surf the Eisbach through the special tutoring, Elber and Pizarro only had dry exercises on the skateboard.

"Pizza" in particular didn't cut a bad figure.

Later, the similarities between surfing in the Eisbach and FC Bayern were discovered.

Namely: Both are known worldwide in the respective sport.

In addition, it is not easy to enter the respective areas.

“The surfers are a big community.

However, it is not easy to get into this group, ”reveals Marcel.

“It's like at FC Bayern,” laughs Elber: “You don't just get in there, but when you're inside, you belong.

That is the 'Mia san mia' feeling ”.

At the end there were two Champions League * jerseys from Elber and Pizarro for Bene and Marcel.

They, in turn, thank you with a surfboard in the FCB design for the great evening with the Bayern legends.

With a cold beer, the two ex-soccer stars watched the surfers in the floodlights a little longer and were really impressed.

“It was nice,” said a happy Pizarro after a successful evening.

It will be interesting to see if one of the two will be able to see one of them trying to surf on the Eisbachwelle in the next few weeks.

Or whether they would rather practice in the bathtub at home first.
