Bournemouth is eagerly awaiting the first artificial surf reef currently under construction off Boscombe Pier.

New Zealand-based contractor ASR will be returning next month to fit the final layer of Europe’s first artificial surf reef.
Despite spiralling costs and delays, ASR bosses have pledged that the £3 million attraction, part of the Boscombe seafront re-development scheme, will be completed by the end of August. Subject to weather conditions, both residents and visitors to Bournemouth hotels should be riding the first waves this autumn.
