It's not a net , it's a floating rope to try to keep the jet-skiers further out from people swimming. The council put it there a couple of years ago

How disappointing, I quite liked the idea of a net to catch jet-skiers, would it work for surfers too? If so, no quota should be enforced.

Hi Guys,
the bouys appear every year.
and there is a sign that warns jet skiers to keep a mimium distance away from the shore, beyond the red bouys.

Its a pretty large sign as well :lol: :lol: :lol:
