Surf's Up in London

Great news for surf enthusiasts!!

As of 2011, surfing lovers will be able to get a taste of the waves at London’s first year-round surf beach. The project builds a part of the massive £ 1.5bn regeneration project of the Silverton Quays, adjacent to the Royal Victoria Deck. The 100m wide sandy beach will accommodate more than 200 swimmers, sunbathers and surfers at the same time; the surf centre will include a wave making- machine. The project is the brainchild of Steve Jones, and adventure sport enthusiast who believes in “urban surfing” as an after work activity instead of going to the gym.

Surfers can expect to pay £30 for an hour of wave action that will offer at least ten waves per rider. The venue will also have a 100sq metre screen and the UK’s largest climbing wall for people not into water sports.
