Despite being a surfer and would love waves “localish” (I live in London now, from Perth Australia) I have over the years been highly critical of this whole project as you may or may not have seen from other posts.

The answer was obvious 5 years ago when I first started posting and is still obvious – its never been about surfing. If it was they would not have proposed a surf reef in a place which simply does not get any swell (as I have explained before its never going to produce waves…).

Why are you wondering why the reef has not been completed? Well the whole thing has NOT BEEN ABOUT SURFING!! Just about giving contracts to various people (which may not be a bad thing – but don’t think its about creating waves) and most likely the odd bribe here and there…

You can’t turn lead in to gold in the same way you can’t turn ripples into surf, but people can be paid in the process of trying to do so…
