Lance’s Right (HT’s)
- Distance
- 40 m, straight out front
- Suits
- Intermediate to advanced
One of the best rights in the world, known for its speed and its barrels. It breaks over reef, so it rewards intermediate and advanced surfers, though on a small swell and a high tide it opens up for less experienced surfers too.
Lance’s Left
- Distance
- A few minutes away
- Suits
- Intermediate to advanced
One of the best lefts in the Mentawais, and a gift for goofy footers. Long rides, shaped walls and barrel sections that keep going.
The Point
- Distance
- Out front, the inside of Lance’s Right
- Suits
- Intermediate to advanced
The inside section of Lance’s Right, and a long, open wall that rewards intermediate and advanced surfers. On the right swell the sections join up and a wave will run end to end, from the top of Lance’s Right all the way through.
