Dr
Kerry Black of ASR Ltd is the leader of the team responsible for studies to
examine the feasibility of a surfing reef at Newquay. The studies have examined
reef design, environmental impact and construction issues.
"A reef designed to develop world-class
surfing in Newquay will turn the surfers' dreams into reality, while other studies
have shown that the reef will significantly benefit the town's economy",
said Dr Black today.
"The Artifical Surf Reef does not make
swell, but ASRs change the form of the waves when they break", he said."
After public consultation and examination of all the factors like
wave climate, wind directions and environmental impacts, I am satisfied that
Newquay Bay is an outstanding site for a high-quality surfing reef," he
said.
With the world's leading design team and best construction methods,
the reef project is the Eden of British surfing reefs, taking us into a new
era of surfing in Britain.The Surfing

· The right is variable with tubing sections and round cut back areas
· Large underwater focusing sections double the wave height on the take-off
and protect the beach by allowing wave energy to be absorbed on the reef

shoreline

and kite sailors
