RiF010 is Rotterdam’s newest public space and the world’s first urban surf pool.
Funded by a municipal initiative and managed by a non-profit, it has transformed the Steigersgracht—a neglected canal in the heart of the city—into a hub for water sport enthusiasts including kayakers and scuba divers.

I'm an on and off radio listener, but so glad I popped on Radio 2 this afternoon. @whisperingbob.bsky.social 's choice of music for the 70s show has been phenomenal. Perfect companion while I prepare dinner. Thanks Bob.
