Propellers Photo de Surf: 'Caught Inside' par Rob Davies

Still onshore and only one surfer out. After a big set came through and broke wide he found himself washed in over the rocks. An intense right hand wave on the approach to Wellington Harbour. Entry and exit difficult. Keep a close watch on the rock out the back for early warning of an approaching clean-up set.
