What a waste of money

£3m surfing reef that doesn't work properly

 

Yep, saw a report about it on the BBC news this morning. Basically it's just a load of bags of sand...

 

could of created a few more and better cycle lanes around Boscombe for that money.

 

Can we turn this into a Surf Music thread?

Beach Boys - Surfin' Safari

 

Good idea...

Surfing Drums - Dick Dale and the Del-Tones

 

It's a non-story. Reef design is not an exact science and the structure itself has to bed down. The contractors always said that there would have to be a second analysis after its first winter and that is what is now happening. When it is finished it will pay for itself in increased visitors over about 10 years.

Lazy reporting.

 

you just can't compete with mother nature.
