Baches Surf Photo: 'Evening Surf at Baches' by Rob Davies

Evening glass-off at the end of an epic day for Wellington and Wairarapa. There were bigger and better spots nearby but I settled on a solo surf at Baches just because I have never surfed it before and because the tide was ideal and it looked like a lot of fun. Sets were a foot overhead here, 2-3 feet overhead down the coast at the more famous spots.
