PROPOSALS for a £10 million-plus investment in the Watersplash to create a ‘world class’ family surfing centre will go on public display tomorrow.
Scale models of the rejuvenation plans and an exhibition outlining the vision of the Seymour family can be viewed at the popular St Ouen’s Bay attraction until Saturday.
The plans are the brainchild of hotelier David Seymour, who has surfed at St Ouen for much of his life, and include a novel indoor facility that will allow surfers to practise their skills all year round.
The scheme will also encompass a small skateboarding bowl, a climbing wall for younger children, a surfing shop, casual and fine dining restaurants, entertainment facilities and six surf lodges with a total of 24 beds for visitors.
The proposals further include the creation of educational programmes and the setting up of a Channel Islands chapter of a foundation that teaches people how to protect the marine environment.
