Bournemouth Artificial reef?

[shackattack2]

herez da boscum beyz bout 2 go shred der new narly reef break

Hey! I recognise that feller on the far left. He was in my halls of residence at Plymouth Uni. Dan I think ya call him......... A real weird Jesus freak from Gurnsey

[gutslider]

At least now we can post photos of Bournemouth that don't make you cringe with embarrasment when you see them. I used to be ashamed to admit I came from here. You can hardly say 'look where I come from' and then show someone a photo of a herd of ageing knobheads on planks doing the 'shit yourself' stance on a foot of foam.

[hangingjudge]

has anyone else heard of the evidence being gathered using photogrammetry?
Thats where two cameras are used to make 3d pictures that measurements can be taken from?
the right hand side of the wave and its length of ride is to be examined in forensic detail for compliance with what the wave is supposed to be.
Once that evidence is available the probity of the project can be put to question though legal channels by anyone,any group of people or concerned organisation.
One camera can also be used and any second year surveying student can use the easily obtained windows software to do the examination.
Apparenty some concerned interns are spearheading the investigation
this is the sort of information that needs to be in the public domain for people to have confidence in a transparent and provident process.
the other thing that i have heard is a $10M law suit against two scientists for a failed surfpark in florida thats apparently been filed and information is available for search in the florida juristiction.
Its only just a borderline civil proceeding?
other juristictions being closely examined by other interested parties.

[hangingjudge]

gutslider, surfing by anybody is nothing to be ashamed of, the ocean and its players all are there for fun.

Surfparks LLC?

[hangingjudge]

I have heard that name before! But unfortunately cannot confirm or deny.
The particular thing of interest is the action is personally against directors and consultants as well as the shell companies.
they can run but cannot hide?
the scientists subject to the action are ........ umm me & minime
that might leave hole in next years budget and forward corporate planning?
I guess they might have to sell their boogie boards?

[hangingjudge]

wheres the 75 to 100 m right hand wave break?
that suckup and a left shoulder . that all its got?
$5M usd and its a lhs shorie with an exit strategy?
keep the beck braces handy.
keep the public liability instance current
build a lifesaving platform on the reef
keep the jetski red cross shuttle on standbye
saying its not for beginners is not a valid disclaimer and does not absolve council of liability

[danny1]

for that money they could have sent everyone to indo for a few weeks

hahhhaahhah

[inconstanttrim]

Anyone seen this yet on the MSW front page! PIT!

[hangingjudge]

boogies hangout!

the kiwi press are seeking comments on the news release by reefs builders "The creator of Mount Maunganui's artificial surf reef is hailing its new 3 million development off the English coast as a huge success which will see millions flow into the local economy.

I guess if the pods and units all sell that is money that flows through the local economy?

is the quality of serfer there so bad that they need bouys to tell them where the reef is

[grubster]

Wow so thats the million Dollar reef
Havent really followed this story much but to ask a obvious question , wouldnt the same result be achieved by throwing a bunch of old car tyres in the tide

[mal-nourished]

think that was proven unsuccesful in the past and there is environmental issues involved in doing the old tyre method ...wave pool would have been a better option in my opinion then the council could have had there 8 pieces of gold...

And Siam Park only cost €52 million - so a snip compared to £1.5billion -

"is the quality of serfer there so bad that they need bouys to tell them where the reef is"

the bouys are to ensure pictures are not confused for the reef breaking .
That is no bouys visible -its not the artificial reef.

"Europe's first artificial surf reef incurred an additional cost of more than £250,000, it has emerged.
Bournemouth Borough Council part-carried out harvesting and filtering work of sand which fills the bags that enable it to work, due to bad weather.
It is now looking to recover some of the cost from contractors ASR Ltd, an audit committee report has revealed."

seems asr have been overpaid?
they are good -those guys,
butch and sundance move over!

.Has the reef seen a lined up swell yet to make the wave run the length of the reef?
.That happens in wind swell
.Maybe they should have spent the money on second homes and porn
.Don't know what beck braces are but does it have something to do with beer and teeth straighteners
. (covers the next 3) Man up and surf it or the boogers will be one step ahead of the standups when that perfect swell direction and size arrives
and the thing pumps.

All meant light heartedly but this is money that has been spent trying to make something for surfers and if it ends up just being a nice little wave for the boogers then all good. At least they didn't spend the cash on themselves or a shitty volley ball court.

[hangingjudge]

damm. thats a neck brace of course and you are obviously vexxed talking about beer and teeth - not got something at stake have we?
Suble threats like that just make you a cyber-bully not a jester!
Look who's surfing where and the ratio is 20 or thirty to none right now now and you will noice that they could not wait for the wind swell.
Thats been the story on every reef ever build -just wait until its good -well they are a not waiting right now.
http://www.bayofplentytimes.co.nz/local ... s/3906117/
you should read and contribute to this article. Oh I notice that the builders have been overpaid -so thats the witholdng .. gone
these guys are better than butch and sundance.
this will never live up to the hype and thats what the backlash is about - not the amenity of a reef.
its the double then double and then double again cost that is the thing that p..s everyone off.
There is no defence for the benefit being nowhere near what the cost said it would be. The surfers near the peirs every
day are proving that. Smaller and far less costly "break shapers' and 'wave improvers" could have been experimented with closer to shore without
the extremes of pipeline to compare with.

Uberhyped and Uberspent and now undersurfed. says it all
yes and cheers to the boogers -they should be very gratefull!
The story by the aussie surf mag editor on the independent says they are a selfish lot though?

[coxie]

subtle threats and cyber bullying sort it out

[mal-nourished]

if the council are really supporting surfing in the bossie area isnt it time they sorted out the ongoing dispute over fishermen casting weights at the surfers around the pier only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.... not the first time this problem has arisen....

[smelly skater]

sorry but all this cyber bullying has to stop

[hangingjudge]

Especially since the pier is so obviously the place for surfing.
Council has a case to answer as do the fishermen.
there its now sorted!

I remember the good old days mal!! Thank god there is no surf by the piers now!

Hope all is well with the clan. xxPapajoe
