Selling Ice to Eskimos Revisited
I looked on the ASR website and other spots but couldn't fined the claim that the boyz will finish it with their money.

So did they? Are they?

selling "ICE"2EKimoes"
artificial surfing
but there is hope on the horizon with both directors of ASR LTD apparently saying that they are staking their professional and personal reputations on these reefs being sucessfull - and to further show their integrity, personally guarenteeing with their own personal and family assets that the reefs will work as they have been promised too. Opanake appaently will be finished using Blacks and Meades own money! Its been said that Mead will hand back his qualifications gained by designing the MT as will Black if they dont work as designed.

I'm constantly sticking up for those guys - everyone says that them, their qualifications, experience , "science" and selling methods are not worth a "pince of (profanity)" - no I totally disagree when i hear that and correct them by affirming that THEY ARE"

rip off
Yeah started it but run out of money...again...like the Mt., blaming it on too much swell, yeah, at the Mt.!
someone needs to do an audit on this prick Kerry Black to see how much of this money the councils local businesses hes sucking into this bullshit is he spending funding his lil retirement projects overseas
these will never work....putting an artifcial reef in a place that has untold reefs in a 5km radius, good selling
