Big Bay...sigh

Over recent weeks, I've been spending most of my surfing at Big Bay. Two reasons: firstly, Derdesteen hasn't been great (one or two pleasant surfs excepted), secondly, I've been breaking in a new surf buddy. He's not comfortable with the vast expanse of ocean you get at Derdesteen, preferring instead the illusory comfort of the surrounding rocks at Big Bay.

Another nice thing about Big Bay for beginners is the reduced swell and outbound current available on the extreme left (as you face the sea), making it very easy to get out beyond the break. And that's a little tip for those of you not very familiar with Big Bay.
