Here you will find info on Surfrider's PRATTE'S REEF (located in Southern California), as well as info on artificial reefs in general.

"The Surfrider Foundation believes that Artificial Surf Reef Technology should not be considered as a viable alternative to naturally existing surf conditions. However, Surfrider does find that some site specific applications of Artificial Surf Reef Technology may be feasible and appropriate as a potential source of mitigation for losses already incurred by the surfing public. Particularly, in areas where man made structures have materially altered the natural state of the coastal zone." (Excerpt from Surfrider's policy on artificial reefs)
