Pretty rad. What's the etiquette on the drop-in/surf time? And who built it/paid for it? Is it free?

Asking because I used to live near Bend, Oregon, which had a similar lowhead dam problem that they turned into a whitewater park with three separate channels of rapids. Love it when cities fund these sorts of things.

It's a really polite crew most of the time. We go one at a time. One from the left and then one from the right. Normally the etiquette is that you get 30 seconds. If you go much longer you get trash talked from the side and you have to try some kind of trick which will most likely end up with a wipe out

It's a privately built setup with a serious investment in the order of a million euro. A year pass costs us 440 euros. There are also day tickets available and there is a small bar for food and you can rent equipment.
