What Is Indoor Surfing?
Indoor surfing means riding an artificial standing wave inside a purpose-built facility. Unlike ocean surfing, there's no paddling, no waiting for waves, and no cold water. You step onto the wave, the instructor adjusts the speed and height to your level, and you surf. It's physical, exhilarating, and completely unexpected as a team event.
Wellenwerk in Berlin-Lichtenberg is the city's only indoor surfing facility and one of the few in Germany. The venue combines the wave with a bar, lounge area, and event spaces — making it a complete team event destination rather than just a sports facility.
Also known as: Indoor-Surfen Berlin, Wellenreiten Berlin, Stationäre Welle Berlin
Wellenwerk Berlin: The Venue
Wellenwerk is located in Berlin-Lichtenberg, a 15-minute S-Bahn ride from Alexanderplatz. The facility features an indoor artificial wave, a viewing gallery for spectators, a bar and lounge, and outdoor terrace space in summer.
The wave technology allows coaches to customise the water flow for each rider. Complete beginners get a gentle slope, while experienced surfers can push the speed and steepness. This means mixed-ability groups work perfectly — everyone gets their own challenge.
Event packages start with 10 people, and catering and beverage packages are available for groups of 25 or more. The venue handles team events regularly and has a dedicated events team for corporate bookings.

3. Surf + Graffiti Combo
A unique combination only available at Wellenwerk. Start with indoor surfing, then move to an on-site graffiti workshop led by a professional artist. Two activities at one location means zero transport logistics. The creative contrast — physical activity followed by artistic expression — makes this a standout team event.

What to Expect on the Day
You'll arrive at Wellenwerk and change into swimwear (bring your own). The facility provides wetsuits if needed. A surf coach briefs your group on technique and safety, then you take turns on the wave.
Each rider gets multiple turns. While you're waiting, you're watching your colleagues attempt to stay upright — which is genuinely entertaining. The viewing gallery means spectators who don't want to surf can still enjoy the event with drinks in hand.
Expect wipeouts. They're part of the fun. The water is warm, the wave is forgiving at beginner settings, and the coaches are experienced at getting first-timers up and riding within minutes.

Tips for Booking Indoor Surfing
Swimwear, a towel, and a change of clothes. Wellenwerk provides wetsuits and lockers. Flip-flops are helpful for walking around the venue.
Not everyone has to surf. The venue has a viewing gallery and bar area. Plan for the people who want to watch rather than ride.
Submit your enquiry at least 14 days in advance. Summer months and Friday evenings fill up fastest. Weekday afternoon slots are usually easier to book.
Only 12 people can surf simultaneously. For larger groups, plan the event so half the team surfs while the other half socialises at the bar, then swap.
The Surf + Graffiti combo is unique to Wellenwerk and eliminates the need for a second venue. Best value for a half-day event.
Combine with Other Activities
Indoor surfing takes 1.5–2 hours for the surf session itself. Wellenwerk's on-site combos keep everything at one location, or you can add an off-site activity.
