OANA Indoor Urban Surf

The Citywave is an artificially created wave, which is an indoor training opportunity for beginner and advanced surfers. The intensity and height can be adjusted for each surfer individually and according to their needs. The decisive factor is the experience and the demand of the participant. The greatest wave height of the standing wave is 1.40 meters.

The facility is used not only by beginners and novices who want to learn how to surf. It is also considered a perfect training place for advanced and professional surfers who want to improve their technique or tricks of surfing

Besides group courses, private individual trainings are also available

Depending on the level of difficulty and ability of the participants, group sizes between five and ten participants are common. Advanced surfers have the opportunity to learn tips and tricks from the coaches and thus improve their surfing skills. The entire facility is heated, creating a tropical atmosphere.

The team

OANA is a Hawaiian word and means family in the context of helping each other to achieve something. This philosophy is lived by the team that takes care of you on site every day. Whether it's getting started and riding your first wave, perfecting your technique or having a private event with friends.

The OANA team consists of experienced surf instructors who support the participants as coaches where help is needed. Especially for beginners they give help with the first entries into the wave. Advanced surfers also learn from the tips and tricks of the experienced instructors. One of the guides is surf pro Durby Castillo from Costa Rica.

The equipment for the training: surfboard and helmet, is provided by OANA. Around the Citywave there is a lounge, a restaurant and a bar. All premises can be used for events. The OANA team then also takes over the organization of catering, music, etc.
