Europe’s first artificial surf reef is in the final phase of tests in Boscombe, Dorset, England.
The £1.4 million project will be ready for surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and bodyboarding next month.
The reef will not create waves, but acts as a ramp which changes the way the waves break and will certainly improve the quality of the surf and produce a long right-hand ride of around 75 metres for surfers, and a shorter left-hand ride of around 35 metres most favourable for body boarders.

Bottom Line: 3D adds a little something extra to this movie-length advertisement for X Games.
Only in the loosest sense is “X Games 3D: The Movie” an actual movie. Essentially a promotional film for extreme action sports and ESPN, the network that developed the sports franchise, the footage hits theaters with the added attraction of 3D.
3D does lend an exciting new dimension — yes, let’s use the word — to this death-defying sports competition with its jaw-dropping stunts. Enthusiasts, most of whom are young men, will jam theaters during the film’s one-week engagement. But it’s hard to imagine anyone else, other than willing dates, being interested.
