From Jon Carden.
IF I had hated the new design for the Watersplash I would have been the first to kick off, so it only seems fair to state that I really like the new design.

It is white and horizontal and simple – all things that seem to fit in with the bay.

The increase in size will concern some people, but the building design and landscaping should combine to create a minimal impact. As I understand it, this increase is needed to incorporate new facilities required to make the Splash a viable year-round business.

As for those facilities, well, I don’t really care what new stuff is included as long as I can still get a beer and a feed after surfing and as long as the nightclub stays.

I think that the grommets will be happy to have a skate bowl as well.

The International Surfing Centre and the promise of more events will encourage visitors to the Island, so I can’t argue with that. The surf will get more crowded, but, let’s face it, who surfs the Splash to get away from crowds?

The only thing I don’t like is the loss of the surfside parking, but that won’t matter because we shall be able to leave our boards and wetties in the new storage facility and skateboard to the beach instead!
