About HT’s (Hollow Trees / Lance’s Right)
HT's、ホローツリーの愛称は、メンタワイのシポラ島の南西海岸に位置するチューブ状で完璧な右波です。その元の名前は、かつてリーフの隣に立っていたホローツリーに由来し、もうそこにはありませんが、その名前は残っています。この波は非常に明確で鋭いリーフの上でブレイクし、機械のように形成される深く、クリーンなバレルに続くクリティカルなテイクオフを生み出します。サイズがあるときはほとんど失望しないため、経験豊富なサーファーやバレルフォトグラファーに最適です。
Local knowledge
ここでのリーフは浅く、鋭く、非常に生きています — "サージョンズテーブル"のインサイドセクションはサーファーを切り裂くことで悪名高いので、コーラルカットを覚悟し、良い救急キットを持参してください。テイクオフはクリティカルで容赦がなく、インサイドに捕まったり、セットで落ちたりすると、乾いたリーフに叩きつけられます。条件が良いと、ラインアップはチャーターボートの交通や経験豊富なバレルハンターで混雑し、ドロップインやそれに伴う衝突のリスクがあります。
アクセスはボートのみで、チャーターまたはシポラのHT's村にあるサーフキャンプ/リゾートの一つを通じて行います — ほとんどのサーファーはポイントのキャンプに滞在するか、チャンネルにアンカーを下ろしたライブアボードに降ろされます。波の横にある深水のチャンネルを通ってパドルアウトし、リーフを避けるために同じチャンネルを使って波の後にキックアウトしてください。潮に注意してください：低潮ではインサイドリーフが露出し、出入りが非常に危険になります。
クリーンなステップアップを持参してください — steepなテイクオフをこなすのに十分な推進力を持ち、チューブ内で高いラインを維持できる6'2"〜6'6"のラウンドまたはスクエアテールのピンテールです。大きく速い日には、小さなガンにサイズアップし、より小さく弱いスウェルではショートボードを使うのは避けてください。
moderate — be polite, wait your turn.

Surfing in Mentawai
Full Mentawai surf guide →If there's one name that makes surfers go quiet and start saving, it's the Mentawai. This remote archipelago of more than 70 islands sits off the west coast of Sumatra, fully exposed to raw Indian Ocean swell, and it has earned its reputation as one of the most concentrated, high-quality wave zones on Earth.
✈️Getting there
All routes run through Padang, the port city in West Sumatra. Fly into Padang's Minangkabau International Airport (PDG), usually via Jakarta, or via Kuala Lumpur or Singapore on regional carriers.
🛵Getting around
The Mentawai are about boats, not roads. Once you arrive, your daily transport to the waves is by boat — either the liveaboard itself or the resort's tenders and speedboats running surfers out to the breaks.
🌤️Climate & season
The Mentawai are equatorial, hot and humid year-round, with water warm enough for boardshorts or a thin top (roughly 27–29°C). There's no real winter — just wetter and drier patterns.
