Additional Surfing Infos
 One of the Mentawais beautiful waves. A long left reef pass set up with an inside wrapping bowl section. Breaks very far from shore so it is easily blown out by unfavorable winds. Tubes, walls, shoulders...offers up everything, a truly beautiful and elegant wave.

Good surf. Ula's, Scarecrows, Ariks, Ombuk Tudor, Icelands, Resorts, Telescopes. Telescopes is one of the best waves I have ever surfed, awesome pobarrels. Icelands is good on a medium size day with some big drops. Nice trip, low crowds.

the sleeper
If this wave broke at solid 6-8 feet more often, it would be recognised as one of the best waves in the world. But it only breaks above 4 feet high, when it gets really good, about 20 or so days a year. I saw a guy get a triple overhead wave here with 3 very deep pipeline-like barrel sections that were long and perfect. One of the best waves I have ever seen at 6-8 feet and a light SE wind.
