What great news, as this is what us surfer dudes have been asking for, for such a long time! Great to see Bournemouth listen to the surfing community. On an enviromental point it's gonna help the coastline no end!

Plans look great, can see this being excellent for the area, lets hope the council get behind it and allow the surf shops and competitions down so we can really get some use out of it !

this reef idea looks and feels a great innovation and I really do hope it works well for you.
But other attempts have all been oversold to overenthusiastic recipients, overtime, overbudget, underperforming (if at all) and only created an enourmous backlash against the promoters for overpromising in their inaquate design and methods of implementation.
The promoters have answered by saying theres never enough money allocated to build their design properly so that why it fails
Again I dont want to be a spoiler but the warm and fuzzy feeling was lost long ago in New zealand where the promoters are being sought for a tar and feathering because of the millions of dollars of community money wasted for their failed experiments.
I am sure that everyone in Kiwi hopes that something has been learnt in their failed experiments and that this third experiment by the same people does yield what the promise was.
The sad thing was that the community really backed the effort because of the way such a thing was a great uplift to everyone in what it was promised to do - what a dissapointment and one that no-one would wish upon another community - really from the heart GOOD LUCK and I and many others hope that it works4u

I've heard similar things as well but I'm still holding out every hope!
You kind of think that the council would have done some serious research into the whole reef concept before they went ahead and spent all the cash (or you hope).
The other hope is that it isn't a company coming in and having a good sales patter that Bournemouth Council didn't fall for without doing their own research.
I guess only time will tell - in the mean time lets carry on wearing our rose tinted specs :d/

ASR 'accomplishments' a.Their supposed 'surf park' in Florida ended up the size of a kiddies swimming pool complete with ankle high waves. http://stabmag.com/features/the-death-of-a-surf-park.phpb.Taranaki Daily News article: "It has been eight years since Mr Black first promised, in 1999, to build the reef which would produce world class waves and put the small coastal town on the map. The South Taranaki District Council gave $1.1 million to the project, which has almost all been spent. But the reef remains incomplete" http://www.snow.co.nz/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=8&t=006106) c. the mount reef they 'built' never fully got finished and doesn't work. Ask anyone who has surfed it and they will tell you the same. I hope that this time it might work and you guys get what you PAID for, but everyone who has dealt with them before will probably believe it when they see it!
