Additional Surfing Infos
 Pitstops is a fun little righthander that people either really like, or can't be bothered with. You can't see it from the boat, so get out and take a look if there is any swell, you might be surprised at its perfect shape. Might be the best 2 foot wave you will ever surf!
  Overview
  Atmosphere It only holds up to about 4-5 feet or so, or a little bit overhead, so it doesn't get the adrenaline seekers. However it is a nippy, fast little barrel with a wall that you can really have fun with. Even when small, watch the dead low tide.
  General Barrels nicely, just not vey big.

Fun wave
Just got back from the Mentawais in the First two weeks in June 2007. We stopped here and got some small but fun waves. I got to use my Fish at this spot and had blast. I would never have spotted this place from our boat if our guide didn't know about this.
