Sarah Jackson: British windsurfer says south coast like ‘surfing in sewage everyday’
Sarah Jackson said even at the age of 14 she was hospitalised due to the pollution in a lake in Oxford
British windsurfer Sarah Jackson says she has relocated from the south coast of England to Tenerife for the winter because she was “surfing in sewage everyday”.
In November, Havant Borough Council expressed concern over pollution detected off the north coast of Hayling Island, where Jackson was training.
Jackson, 24, told Adrian Chiles on BBC Radio 5 Live the sewage in the UK was the “worst” she had encountered.
She added: “And that is across Europe.”
Campaigners have blamed Southern Water, which is permitted to release untreated sewage during periods of heavy rain to stop drains backing up.
Jackson said: “I was living on Hayling Island in 2020 to 2021, throughout that winter, and that was when I really started to understand the situation.
“So I relocated to Tenerife last winter and then I have come out here again this year, just for the winter.
“You break pretty quickly when you’re having to surf in sewage everyday.
“I need wind to be able to be in the water and invariably in winter, when it’s windy, it’s also raining – and that’s when they have free license to just throw sewage into the sea.”
Jackson, who is a two-time slalom silver medallist at the world championships, said while Tenerife is “not perfect”, the issues surfers face in the UK are more severe.
1.$paragraph-11″>”The south coast is super tidal,” she said. “So even if there is sewage coming out in X location, because the tides are so strong across the south coast, it’s moving that water super quick and spreading it out very quickly.
“While that slightly dilutes it because it is being spread, that just means the problem is being spread further and further.
“What I’ve learnt more recently is that almost everywhere we go, there is a problem in some level – but the level in the UK is definitely the worst we are seeing – and that is across Europe.”
Jackson said she was inspired to become an advocate for ocean conservation at 14 years old when she first started out in the sport.
“I went to a lake in Oxford and it was so polluted, off the back of that I got really sick for 12 weeks,” she said.
“I ended up in hospital and it was a complete nightmare.”
In a statement to BBC Radio 5 Live, Southern Water said that while they have an “important role to play” in maintaining water quality, it was also key that “all parties work together” to create a clean and safe coastline.
While Jackson agrees, she also believes there should be consequences for the amount of sewage the water company is disposing of.
She added: “What I would love to see is greater punishments – especially this summer – as it was dry and dry and yet there was still raw sewage being pumped.
“They are taking such big bonusesexternal-link at the end of each year, such big profits; put that back in, reinvest it and actually improve the infrastructure.
“It’s the one that we can control and that would make the biggest difference.

Most tourists come to Tenerife on a tour package
02/07/2014
In 2013, Tenerife was visited by 182 thousand tourists from Russia, which is 32% more than in 2012. This increase in tourist traffic has become a new record for the destination, according to the Tenerife Tourism Authority.
In total, last year the tourist flow to Tenerife reached almost 5 million people. Tourism revenue increased by 5.2% compared to the previous year and amounted to 3.722 million euros. Of the almost 5 million tourists, 3.816 million guests of the island are foreigners. In total, tourism in Tenerife in 2013 increased both in the number of overnight stays, which reached 38.7 million (an increase of 1% compared to 2012), and in hotel occupancy, which averaged 64.6% per year – 2.3% more than the previous year. The highest occupancy was recorded among 4* (78.4%) and 5* (71.2%) hotels. The average length of stay remained virtually unchanged compared to last year and amounted to 7.
77 days. nine0003
The largest number of foreigners come to Tenerife from the UK – almost 1.6 million people (31.8% share). They are followed by Spaniards (23.3%), Germans (11.2%) and Scandinavians (about 10%). Russia ranks fifth in terms of the number of tourists (3.7%), but shows the best growth rates in the tourist flow in the market.
“Every year the island of Tenerife becomes more and more popular among Russian tourists. In 2013, compared to the previous year, our volumes in Tenerife increased by 12%. If a few years ago the direction in Russia was associated primarily with expensive holidays, then in recent years the situation has changed. “Island of Eternal Spring” is a very interesting destination that can offer a variety of recreation options for various categories of customers. We believe that the Canary Islands in general, and the island of Tenerife in particular, is a destination that has great potential for the Russian market, which will open up in the coming years,” says TUI Russia & CIS Marketing and Sales Director Ivor Vukelik.

True, the growth of Russian tourist traffic in Tenerife was due not only to the popularity of tourists on this island. For the second year already, there has been an overabundance of transportation on the Tenerife route, which inevitably entails a reduction in prices. In addition, last year, due to the unstable situation in Egypt, European clients (Germany and the UK in the first place) went to the Canary Islands instead of Egypt. This led to the fact that many hotels, having received high occupancy, finished selling rooms in December. “To this day, there is a high occupancy of hotels and sometimes a shortage of rooms in the Canary Islands,” notes Ivor Vukelik. Given this circumstance, tour operators recommend that tourists plan their holidays in Tenerife in advance. Recall that now Russian companies offer tourists rates for the “Early Booking” promotion. Discounts reach 30%. nine0003
On average, each tourist spent about a thousand euros during their stay on the island, which is 3.
2% more than in 2012. Most of these costs – about 711 euros (an increase of 2.2%) – were spent on preparing for the trip in the country of departure, and about 371 euros were spent directly on the island. Of these, most – 32.5% – was spent by tourists on cafes and restaurants, as well as on shopping (17.4%), which together brought the island 1.845 million euros in income. In turn, the activity of the tourism industry has a beneficial effect on the economy of the island and stimulates the creation of new jobs: in 2013, the unemployment rate in Tenerife fell by 1.8%. nine0003
Among visitors to Tenerife in 2013, the largest proportion (26.7%) were people aged 31 to 45 years. Most came in couples (60%), and 20% of tourists preferred to stay with their families. At the same time, the average annual income of each tourist is estimated at 52,706 euros. The majority of tourists (55.2%) still come to Tenerife on a tourist package, trusting tour operators to organize their holidays.
