The new surf reef in Boscombe is scheduled to be finished around December 2008. When it is completed it will be the only artificial surf reef in Europe, and one of four others worldwide: Narrowneck, Queensland; Cables, Western Australia and Mt.Maunganui, New Zealand.It will be located to the east of Boscombe Pier and the reef will take up about one hectare (the size of a football pitch). It will attract surfers from all over the World as it works by mimicking the effects of a natural reef and will be built from large geo-textile bags pumped full of sand.
Keep your eyes peeled as we're planning to add surf hardware to the store and extend our range of surf brands.
Check the video to see a scaled down model of the reef to see how it will work.
