Not one of the world’s best surf

From Mark Creedon.
AS a surfer who has appreciated the beauty of St Ouen’s Bay for all my 40 years, I am totally against the proposed Watersplash development.

The sport has already become too commercialised and the water is already overcrowded.

I’ll ask one question: do the best surf spots in Europe (or the world) have such developments? Of course not.

They have consistently good waves and don’t need a flow-rider. The bay as a whole needs to keep its natural beauty. If the plans are approved, it will the end of the sport as I and many others know it in Jersey.
