About Lance’s Left
Lance's Left é uma esquerda confiável, rápida e divertida localizada na ilha de Sipora, não muito longe do famoso HT's (Lance's Right). Seu nome vem do lendário surfista que "descobriu" ambos os picos nos anos 90. Ao contrário do HT's, essa onda é menos tubular e mais aberta, o que a torna perfeita para surfistas que buscam carving, snaps, cutbacks e flow. Em dias grandes, também pode oferecer seções ocas.
Local knowledge
Um recife de coral vivo afiado e raso fica sob toda a onda, e fica seriamente raso por dentro e em marés mais baixas — uma queda aqui significa cortes de recife, então é sábio usar booties e ter um kit de primeiros socorros. Há uma corrente que corre ao longo do recife em swells maiores que pode te arrastar em direção aos bommies internos, e sendo uma quebra remota em uma ilha externa, qualquer lesão significa uma longa viagem de barco até a ajuda médica real.
Esta é uma onda de acesso apenas por barco — a maioria dos surfistas vem em um barco fretado ou em uma lancha em um passeio de um dia a partir de acampamentos ao redor de Sipora/Katiet, sentando-se logo acima do recife do HT's (Lance's Right). Ancore ou seja deixado no canal e reme até o takeoff; use o canal no ombro interno para uma saída limpa e nunca tente entrar sobre o recife seco.
Traga sua prancha padrão de performance para os dias de carving de altura da cabeça a acima, quando a parede se abre. Em swells maiores, quando se ergue e lança seções ocas, aumente para uma prancha um pouco mais longa e alongada para lidar com a velocidade e manter sua linha nas seções mais rápidas.
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.
