Aussie surfer Ben Mondy, an ex-editor of Tracks magazine and contributor to Surfer, Carve and Surf Europe, was one of the first to surf the new reef at Bournemouth. Here he gives his take on it in a video that is currently running on the Independent newspaper website.

Don’t forget you can check out the surf conditions on the Boscombe Surf Reef Webcam.

Webcam technology has come along way in the last few years. We have all gotten use to seeing those handy little cameras that attach to your PC and send images to a web page that can be viewed by others. More recently laptop manufacturers have been integrating web cameras into the cases making them so easy to use.

But webcam technology is also becoming widely popular around the UK’s beaches and surf breaks.

The two cameras we operate; the Bournemouth Pier and Beach Webcam and the Boscombe Surf Reef Webcam have seen some incredible website traffic over the Summer.

Perfect for checking the surfing conditions at your local beach. The real-time images also provide just that little bit of insight into people lives and what they get up to.

Our surfcams use the latest streaming technologies where the images are a constant stream downloaded in video format and published on the web.

The camera that is situated high above Boscombe Pier is all set to capture live images of the new Artificial Reef when it is complete.

With lots of other webcams popping up around the surf spots there is no reason to reach your local break without a catching a few waves.

Give us a shout and let us know you other favourite webcam locations.
