Ruby Bay Surf Photo: 'High tide right' by Rob Davies
Best known for exceptionally long lefts, Ruby Bay can produce decent rights too, like this one at high tide. Although it is best known as a longboard wave, once it gets overhead it is steep enough for a shortboard, even when the wind is onshore like here.
