    Love this video! Your experiences you shared about exploring and experimenting remind me of my buddies and I figuring out how to skate a 30 foot concrete full pipe in the mountains.

      Thank you so much 😃 glad you like it! Sounds awesome with the full pipe, exploring is definitely one of the most exciting parts!

    This is great! Some of those flood waves look world-class. I'd love to surf them! (I noticed Mtl in one of the stills there too) :D

    hello, This is soo cool!!! do you know of such surf places in the area of Baden?

    • @TheMegaMatt
      @TheMegaMatt  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, happy you like it. No I don't know of any places in that area. Probably best to get in contact with the local Surfing or Kayak Community and explore 👍

    The river is quite wide and very nice.... so it can be used for surfing

    Is it possible to learn in a place like Thun if I have no ocean experience? Would river surfing help once I'd finally manage to hit the ocean? Thanks a lot for the video

    • @TheMegaMatt

      Hi, Thun has a nice Riverwave and it will definitely help your skills in the ocean if you are able to surf on a river. If you start from zero I would recommend having your first surfs at one of the artificial waves in Switzerland, like OANA near Lucerne, URBAN SURF in Zurich, ALAIA BAY in Sion or Wakesurfing on one of the Swiss Lakes. They can provide you with the right equipment and you get to make your first steps in a safe environment with professional instuctors.

    Hey, finde deine Videos mega und bin selbst begeisterter Surfer( leider mit noch nicht zu viel Erfahrung) und wollte mal ganz frech fragen, ob es vielleicht möglich wäre, etwas in Kontakt zu kommen?

      Hi Fabian, freut mich dass dir die Videos gefallen. Ich selber bin zur Zeit in Afrika. Am besten checkst du einfach mal verschiedene Surfspots in der Schweiz ab, dann kommst du schnell mit Surfern in Kontakt. Alaia Bay in Sion oder OANA Surf in Ebikon sind sicher gute Startpunkte 👌

    wow ich hatte keine Idee, dass die Schweiz solche Riverwaves hat.!!!

    • @TheMegaMatt
      @TheMegaMatt  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yesss, sie laufen leider nur selten, aber wenn sie dann laufen 🤩🤩🤩

    Think safety!
    I do not recommend having a leash on your leg, if it gets stuck underwater you cannot open the leash in the current(never)

    • @TheMegaMatt
      @TheMegaMatt  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Exactly 👍 that‘s why we always attach the leash on our arm. Check Episode 2, it‘s explained in detail.

    Hi I just have some questions for you regarding the Ecotraining;
    1. Which camp was it?
    2. Was vegetarian food available
    3. How did you get there? (which mode of transportation and how far was it from the nearest International airport)
    :) Thank you

    • @TheMegaMatt

      Hi Renay, I took part in the 55-days course last year and am currently doing the full year professional course.
      1. The courses are divided between different camps to give you maximum exposure to different habitats. During my 55-days course I was in Selati and Pridelands
      During my Professionald Field Guide Course I was in Karongwe, Selati and Makuleke
      2. Yes you can sign up as a vegetarian, and the vegetarian options are really nice.
      3. Transfers can be organized through EcoTraining (Bus Transfer) and are usually done from Johannesburg. You can also selfdrive to the camps or arrange a pick-up from smaller airports close by to the camps
      Hope that helps 😃
