When it comes to surfing, those people who are really serious about it will travel half way round the world in pursuit of catching the best wave, of achieving that trick with their surfboard that they have been hankering after mastering for a lifetime. This can be a costly sport. Its not like you can pop down to your local pool or beach and improve your surfing abilities with practice. It takes wind, waves and currents to create the right circumstances for surfing. Without one of these elements, youre pretty stumped. There are many areas around the world that are well known for surfing. Australia, Hawaii and California are some of the hottest surfing spots around the world and all are a long distance from the UK. British surfers have, at best, the coast of Cornwall, for their surfing but this doesnt really meet the standards of foreign climes. However, all that could be set to change. An Artificial surfing reef is being constructed on the coast of Bournemouth to encourage surfers to that area of the country. The surfers that already favour Bournemouth try to catch waves 153 days per year, even though the local council say there really is only 77 good surfing days per year - but can you afford to miss them The new Bournemouth reef is set 210 metres from the shore and promises to send waves up to 75 metres high into the sea near Boscombe Pier. This should double the number of officially good surfing days, thus improving tourism for Bour ...

Filed under: History , Learning , Scuba Diving , Stories , United States , Video , Ecotourism Erik Olsen , former Gadling blogger extraordinaire (he topped 4,000 posts) has a recent article in the New York Times about the U.S.S. Orinsky, a battleship that was turned into an Artificial reef off the coast of Florida near Pensacola. This "great carrier reef," Olsen reports, is one of the best places to dive in the United States and has put Pensacola in the money. Dive shops have done a booming business and the ship has generated a considerable sum for the county besides. Along with divers, military buffs and those who served on the ship back when have come to see it. John McCain, though, has yet to make an appearance. McCain's plane took off from the ship's deck almost 31 years ago on his last mission before he was shot down during the Vietnam conflict and found himself in the " Hanoi Hilton " aka, Hoa Lo Prison, most definitely not enjoying the city's charm like I have. As Olsen points out, there are some environmental concerns regarding sinking ships, however the Environmental Protection Agency helped to ensure the ship was cleaned up enough to be turned into an ocean life haven. Studies are being done to see what adverse environmental footprints are being made, if any. The fear is that PCBs are being released. Regardless of the possible downside, barnacles, sea urchins and 38 fish species now call the Mighty O--the ship's nickname, ho ...
