Amsterdam is set to bring surfing to the city center with a proposed wave pool in the Johan van Hasseltkanaal, located in the Buiksloterham neighborhood.

Inspired by Rotterdam's successful urban surf park, the project aims to transform the canal into a surf-friendly environment, offering both recreational opportunities and contributing to the area's redevelopment into a mixed-use district.

The initiative reflects the city's commitment to innovative urban planning and expanding outdoor activities for residents and visitors alike.
