Watching surfers in the middle of this park was one of my favorite things to do in Munich. What a bummer. I'd be surprised if they had any luck at all restoring it.

The first time I saw them was around Christmastime and I was just stunned by the sight of surfers in the middle of a snow-filled park.

Have they tried turning it off and back on again?

That’s what they did and that broke the wave.

As you read in the article, yes, they did, and that's what caused the problem.

Well maybe they just need to jiggle the handle.

The forced update bricked the wave :(

The linked Stern article[1] has a before picture showing how the wave used to look.
I'm not that good with hydrodynamics, but since they say nothing structural changed during the cleanup, could it be how quickly they brought the flow back up?
I really hope they get manage to recover it. I grew up surfing in Central Florida and even I knew about it and had seen pictures of it. I finally went there a few years ago and it was a blast to see people surfing it.
