RiF010 is the very first surf pool in the world in the middle of a city. RiF010 also rents out canoes and SUPs from the beach house, and at regular intervals you can take diving lessons in the basin. You can also have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the beach bar.
World firsts
RiF010 is the world's very first surf pool in the middle of a city. In the heart of Rotterdam, next to the Markthal, you can surf and bodyboard on perfect waves. The machine can adjust the height of the waves, so both beginners and advanced surfers can work on their surfing skills here. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor or on their own.
Other activities
Also if you don't feel like surfing, you can go to RiF010 for other water activities. The company rents out supboards or canoes to cruise along Rotterdam's canals. RiF010 also offers pumptrack clinics. In Overschie is a cool track where you ‘pumptrack’ on special bikes.
Surfbar & Kitchen
Of course, all these activities make you hungry, which is why there is the Surfbar & Kitchen. It's a beach bar in the center of Rotterdam. Every season, the menu is based on a different surf country, such as Mexico with a burrito bowl, tostadas and loaded nachos. The Surfbar & Kitchen serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Views of the waves and surfers are included!
Group events
RiF010's water sports are the perfect activities to do with a group, for example with colleagues or during a bacholer weekend. After the surf session, you can settle down in the beach bar for a snack and drink. You can find all group options in the brochure.
