About Lance’s Left
ランスのレフトは、シポラ島に位置する信頼性が高く、速く、楽しいレフトハンダーです。著名なHT's（ランスのライト）からそれほど遠くありません。その名前は、90年代に両スポットを「発見」した伝説的なサーファーに由来しています。HT'sとは異なり、この波はチューブ状ではなく、よりオープンで、カービング、スナップ、カットバック、フローを求めるサーファーに最適です。大きな日には空洞のセクションも提供することがあります。
Local knowledge
鋭く浅い生きたサンゴリーフが波全体の下にあり、内部や低潮時には非常に浅くなります — ここでのワイプアウトはリーフの切り傷を意味するので、ブーツと応急処置キットを持っていると賢明です。大きなスウェルの時にはリーフに沿って流れる流れがあり、内部のボミーに引き寄せられることがあります。また、リモートな外島のブレイクであるため、怪我をした場合は本物の医療支援まで長いボートライドが必要です。
これはボートアクセス専用の波です — ほとんどのサーファーはシポラ/カティエ周辺のキャンプからのチャーターボートまたはスピードボートの日帰り旅行で来ます。HT's（ランスのライト）からリーフの上に位置しています。チャンネルにアンカーを下ろすか、降ろしてもらい、テイクオフにパドルします。内部のショルダーのチャンネルを利用してクリーンに出入りし、ドライリーフを越えて入ろうとしないでください。
壁が開いたときの頭高からオーバーヘッドのカービングデーには、標準的なパフォーマンスショートボードを持参してください。大きなスウェルの時に立ち上がり、空洞のセクションを投げるときは、スピードを扱い、速いセクションでラインを保持するために、少し長めのボードにステップアップしてください。
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.
