This is a picture of the lovely Boscombe Beach , site of the first artificial surfing reef in the Northern hemisphere , due for completion just in time for the Beast's two week vacation in September.
They construct the reef from 100 ft sandbags 245 metres off shore . So far it has cost 3m quid and taken about 12 years of committee meetings , but at last its is nearly ready . I am sure that come the first winter storm , the reef will end up in Boscombe High street :-)
Bournemouth council are hoping this will bring a veneer of surfer glamour to Boscombe , one of Bournemouths more run down and chavy suburbs .
Winner of this years 'Miss Bountifull Boscombe' crown , Ms Caress Scrubb is hoping it will lead to a 'Baywatch' style boost to her burgeoning career as an airship errrm plus size model
One can imagine it will lead to a proliferation of all manner of exciting outdoor sports.Beast will be squeezing into a shorty wetty and spending my two weeks paddling about in the rolling surf , fighting off impertinent advances from the Japanese Whaling fleet and nimbly avoiding molestation by the hordes of killer jellyfish the tabloids insist are massing off the beaches.

Be careful. They might end up having Pamela Anderson dismantling a nuclear bomb on your beach.
Run for your life!

*wonders wtf its saying*
yeah, lots of people who live here love/are addicted to it as well... good on you man for having a hobby/sport!!! personally dressing up like a sea lion, then paddling out into the waves and thrashing about like im injured and need to be eaten isnt my cup-o-tea. but who asked me right?
When you tire of these water sports come to the African jungle, Beast. My females will show you how to shake your arse to the natural rhythms of Nature.
Did I give you permission for two weeks off in September?
I don't THINK so!

Agreed , wait for the first winter storm and the 3 million squid artificial reef will be ripped up by the tempest and end up demolishing half of Boscombe High street.....its got disater written all over it
It not a well known fact that I was a leading light in Boscombe Regeneration Scheme, it was me who fought for a bench outside McDonalds for the smack heads awaiting their dealers, unfortunately I had to pack it all in when made Treasurer of the BomoCreatives (conflict of interest). Will MrC still be able to let his dogs shit on the beach?

Your such a social campaigner Mr Frobisher . The Emily Pankhurst of Boscombe.
I havnt seen site nor sound of Mr C.As he is now an international captain of industry , I am sure he has an east european minion to capture the dog waste in a linen napkin and wipe little lloyds backside
"That would be rather exciting , altho its more likely to be the more down market Cheeky Girls"
Now that's a sickening thought.
I think you will look very cool Beast....when you've cracked it!

Oh dear , that could take some time :-(
i lived in florida for a while and used to surf...there is nothing wrong with that...probably still would if i lived anywhere that i could surf...mj is just jealous!
Don't forget your sunscreen! And your harpoon to fend off the whalers and jellyfish and other tourists!
We have real waves in Gower.You should come to gower. WE could play in the water together.
OH please, bobing around in the water you need a board first dear and some arm bands! more like hanging around under the pier! asking people do you come here often!!!

The site of the Beast in a wetsuit usually keeps most away (except the Japanese Whaling fleet ) and amourous jellyfish
