Ruby Bay Foto de Surf: 'Ruby Bay Glassy Waves' por Rob Davies

Lovely waves at the smallest of the Nelson breaks. Mostly knee-to waist high so we left it to the SUP riders and longboarders and headed to Rabbit Island for high tide where it was a bit bigger and a bit steeper. Of course the main swell was all along the distant coastline.
