Ruby Bay Surffoto: 'Ragged surf at Ruby Bay' door Rob Davies

There were a few bigger sets earlier but generally it was waist to shoulder high with a bit of annoying cross-chop all afternoon. Even on a 7' board I could ride for more 200m but as usual it looked more fun on a longboard or SUP, better suited to staying through the gutless sections.
