This is a heavy, ledgy right hander with the inside bowl offering some wide pits. Watch the sets, it's a big reef and breaks all over the show, choose your take off zone and sit there and wait, don't be tempted by what you see up the reef! The end of the run out tide tends to suck you too deep as well. Its very shifty and getting caught inside means long hold downs in very turbulant water. Had some of the best barrels of my trip here.
A very consistent wave and probably one of the easiest waves to surf in the Mentawai's.
It's the deepest and safest wave in the area and also pick up a bit more swell than other locales. 5 more breaks in the area, including E-Bay and Pitstops. Nestled inside a small bay with one of the most scenic views imaginable all around you.
Not world class, rarely barrels, only breaks for about 50-80m, best on low tide.
Unusual left style wave that zips along a rock shelf next to quite deep water. There is a sweet hollow pocket inside, as it zips along the shelf, over about 100m or so. Holds large sizes, but probably best around 3 to 8 foot faces before it starts to wash out. It's got very deep water to bail out in, so it's high performance style rather than down the line. Quite unique and remote.
Ok inside right which only breaks in bigger west-southwest swells and when the winds are northeast, blowing out some other nearby spots. Can tube and handle some pretty big size, but mostly a big long face. It's the inside section of the very long right point on the other side of Icelands.
Easy wave to ride. There is a right and left off the peak. The entire reef off the south end of the island where you surf is mainly deep and really flat, no real danger. If your wanting to ride the inside left as it starts wrapping around the island, hit it on hight tide.
found this spot just exploring the coast
far as i know noone has surfed it.
it's a nice a frame great for towing in.
Fun when small
needs to be offshore
