@lukedreams - it's a shame it failed. I live about 1k from the reef and see it most days. Surfers stay off the reef because the best waves are around the pier.
Ok,thanks.. didn't think of it like that. It might even draw some of the crowds away from N-Dev. I have lived all my life in croyde, and detest the crowds, but we're spoilt for waves. There's always somewhere close thats working whatever the conditions.But ive just finished college and because of the crowds have just moved to my parents in south France, so now i'm getting perfect 6-10ft days in boardies and 2mil vest (Cant wait for winter)! I have to try hard NOT to bet barrelled.
your right, i have lived all of my life near croyde and i hate it how the tourist come with their shitty surfers. but croyde beaand puttsborough need better barrels and bigger waves, because big waves are still non frequent!!!! cant wait to do national bodyboard championships!!!
I'm NOT slagging off Bournemouth or its waves, but its a complete waste of money to build an artificial reef there when North Devon and Cornwall gets so much more swell which would do it proper justice!
It would be so much more worthwile building it in dev or c-wall, for both the investors and the surfers due to the size of the quality waves it would produce.
Whats the point in having a perfect wave when thebiggest it will ever get is 2ft when they could be perfect 8-10 just a few miles away?
Could be prtty cool for longboardig but it looks very choppy

The reef is a joke.
An embarrassing one for the council
A profitable one for the people who made it
