Bournemouth Surf Reef - Boscombe’s long-awaited surf reef is now ready for use!  

The RNLI recently undertook their training (Sunday 1st November 2009) and following this, it was just a case of waiting for the right weather to declare the reef officially open.

Jon Weaver, Marketing and Events Manager for Bournemouth Tourism said, “For once, the weather appears to be on our side. Almost no sooner than the RNLI have completed their training, the final stage we had to go through before we could launch, the swell is perfect – decent waves, around eight seconds apart with a gentle breeze. We couldn’t miss this opportunity so took the decision this morning at 10.30 to launch the reef
