i lived in Motueka for years and enjoyed surfing Ruby Bay the rare times it worked, but i would not say it is world class or for experienced surfers, more very patient mellow surefers. nice photo though.

I see Nelson has 2 world class waves. They should think about including it in the ASP tour. Maybe slot it in between Tahiti and Fiji.

the proof is in the pudding mate
