All over the world sub-cultures have sprung up around surfing in non-coastal locations.

Be it a tidal bore or a standing river wave, the nuances and style of surfing derive strictly from the type of non-ocean roller, however these communities tend to have one characteristic in common:  They are always keen, whatever the weather, to get their feet in the wax. They spot opportunities non waved starved surfers may miss, giving some, like in the case of these surfers in Switzerland, the opportunity to pioneer a new spot.
