May Bank Holiday Construction Progress
May 5th, 2009
ASR made the most of the good May Bank Holiday weather by laying several five-tonne anchors blocks onto Boscombe seabed.
The anchors were accurately placed in positions surrounding the surf reef site using a team of diving and marine construction experts.
This work has been done in preparation for the laying of the second layer of the surf reef. The second layer is in several sections and will be deployed separately when weather conditions are absolutely flat and perfect i.e. there is no swell, wind and little tidal movement.

i hope that the results will justify this great level of care and cost that is obviously involved.

have the bags destroyed by chains broken loose been repaired yet?

No matter what the reef is like, you still need decent sized swell to produce surfable waves.
Bournemouth doesn’t get much swell so frankly I can’t see the point of this whole project??

but that doesnt mean they should not have every chance to prove that it will work – as they have now?
