About

Great wave, has plenty of power and is a welcome relief from the rest of the shallow reefs in the Mentawai's. Long hold downs replace reef cuts.

Atmosphere:
Watch it from the channel for a bit and suss out how it breaks. A bit of extra foam doesn't hurt as you need to get into it nice and early. It doesn't always look makeable, and that's probably because its not. Take off anyway cause the ones you make are worth the beatings.

Additional Info:
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.
