Did any of you negative people stop to think that these guys are actually working their ass off to try and make these things work. As with any new product or venture there are going to be errors made. I think that they have a dream job and you negative lot need to stop get your facts straight and stop being so sour (Si)

Nah not sour grapes JBAT just the reality as surfing communities are being taken for a ride. Driven by local politicians, everybody’s on the band wagon and yet we have two reefs in Nz that are not working as design teams said they would – and it starts off just like this oh we need xtra time or the bags come loose blah blah if i was still living in highcliffe surfing the crows nest, or in bournemouth and a ratepayer I’d be spewing. good luck though if anywhere needs a reef its the pier.

As far as I know they are back, but to add to the delay I have been told that a buoy came loose and the chain slashed one of the bags so god knows how long it will all take, but I do know that they have been diving.

The reef will never work.

So does anyone know if they have actually started the reef again this month? Do you think it will realistically be ready for the autumn/winter swells?

once again ASR are leaving one unfinished reef in New Zealand to go finish (maybe ) another unfinished reef in the UK.
sounds more like an excuse to have an endless summer.
