If you've never tried this sport you need to give it a go to understand what all the hype is about.

Give this sport a go and get out there. It's either a very mellow alternative to normal surfing on a calm day or a somewhat insane sport as you paddle out to sea to catch large offshore swells trying to control a 12ft board with a little balance and a long paddle!

For all you doubters out there, yes the South Coast does have surf and Boscombe is a well known spot here for surfing. It's a great place to learn for beginners as the waves are pretty friendly and they break onto a sandy beach meaning that there are no unpleasant encounters with rocks.
For those who are more experienced, Boscombe Pier offers a great left or right depending on which side you're on. 2009 also saw the completion of the first artificial surf reef in Europe. This break offers a fast left and a slower right. However, you do have to be a more experienced surfer to get out there as it's a little way off shore.
What makes Boscombe ideal for learning and developing your surfing is not just the sandy beaches and the variety of breaks, it's the great location in relation to major cities such as London and the easy access to the beach and other amenities. This means that you can have a great surf then head out to enjoy the delights of clubbing in Bournemouth or a quiet country pub in the New Forest - you choose.
