Investigations into the surfing accident on the Eisbach
As a result of the accident, the Eisbach wave was closed to surfers and cordoned off with bars, which led to considerable criticism from surfers. Even NFL superstar Tom Brady expressed his solidarity with the affected surfers. There were reports of masked groups continuing to surf the Eisbach wave despite the ban. Failure to comply with this blocking can result in fines of up to 50,000 euros.
