We’d love to end this clip with a great quote from the FUS CREW: “Basically, we’re just friends who grew up together surfing rivers.”

Flo started surfing at the age of 15 in Brasil and on the French atlantic coast. When he moved to Munich to study, Flo first came into contact with riversurfing at the Floßlände, but, already being a seasoned ocean surfer, soon made the transition to the Eisbach wave.

Flo keeps bringing skateboarding tricks into the world of river surfing.

A New Kind of Surf Style

Flo Kummer founded the FUS Crew, a group of dedicated river surfers looking for perfect river waves around the world and bringing tricks from the skateboard repertoire to river surfing. The German crew was also the surprise winner of the 2011 inaugural Nike Chosen Crew Video Contest, a competition of 1,700 skate, BMX and surf crews from around the world. The “FUS Jam”, a competitive freestyle surf event in Munich with emphasis on fun and entertainment, is also a must-see for river surfers and everyone who is interested in the sport.

Flo’s List of Achievements

• 1st place FUS Jam 2010
• 3rd place Sur f& Style 2010
• 1st place FUS Jam 2012

After he started river surfing at the Floßlände wave in 2001, Tao has worked his way up to one of the most popular figures in river surfing. Today, he is a local Munich institution and one of the riders who are constantly pushing the boundaries of river surfing in the pursuit of radical new manoeuvres.

Besides surfing rivers, Tao is running his own business as an independent industrial designer. He also co-founded with Felix B Accessories (surf accessories) and Big Ding (a homegrown surfboard repair kit). The repair kit is an affordable alternative for small and big dings, especially useful for Eisbach surfers as dings are pretty much unavoidable in the long run. At the moment Tao is a team rider for Quiksilver, Planet Sports, Swox and Fatum Surfboards. Among his appearance in a 2009 SexWax brand commercial, Tao appears in numerous surf videos and magazines.

Competitive River Surfing

Recently Tao landed the first ever 360 shove-it at Munich’s Eisbach.

Tao is one of the few surfers that actually master a solid bottom turn at the Eisbach. It’s not an everyday thing to see a river surfer finishing off a deep bottom turn with a nice snap and buckets of spray. Such maneuvers are kind of a trademark of Tao’s fast and vigorous approach to river surfing.

Tao’s list of records keeps growing too. In August 2012 he won the 2nd Surf & Style Contest (European River Surfing Championships) at the Munich Airport. On the outdoor artificial wave Tao came out first, just after Quirin Rohleder (2nd), Gerry Schlegel (3rd) and Jan Vogt (4th).

River Surfing Trick Pioneer?

Recently, after some 50 attempts, Tao Schirrmacher landed the first 360 shove-it at Munich’s Eisbach. It’s pretty safe to say that this was the first ever landed 360 shove-it on a surfboard in a river. Check out the vid here: Premiere: The First 360 Shove-it on a Surfboard.

Gerry has won the Munich Surf Open four consecutive times.

Gerry has been surfing the Eisbach in Munich, Germany, since 1991 and won the Munich Surf Open four consecutive times. He is a member of the FUS Crew (Germany’s top riversurfers on the hunt for perfect river waves), works as an independent software developer and is also a widely respected ocean surfer, having won the ADH Open in 2007 and 2009.

Gerry’s List of Records

1st place Blue Games 2005 (Overall), 1st place Austrian Riversurf Open 2005 and 2006 (Overall & Best Trick), 1st place Eddy’s Riversurfjam 2007, 1st place O’Neill FUS Jam 2007 (Best Run), 1st place Munich Surf Open 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009, 1st place Islas Canaries Surf Jam 2009 (Best Rider), 1st place King of the Küste 2011 and 2012, 1st place Surf&Style EM 2011.

Surfing on the Edge

Gerry has surfed the most dangerous river waves in the world, for instance “Hawaii sur Rhone”, “La Malate” and the tidal wave “Seven Ghosts“. In interviews he reported having witnessed the tragic death of a female surfer in Fuerteventura and also talks about the dangers of riversurfing – eddies, rocks, whirlpools and trees. So, if an extremely skilled surfer like him respects rivers, everyone of us should do as well.
