Lance's Right

Surf Guide

Lance's Right is a front-lit tube studio. The barreling right-hander is a must stop for most Mentawai boat trips, which makes it one of the most crowded. The irony is, as perfect as it looks, the wave is deceptively challenging, and a slab of reef known as the "surgeon's table" awaits the flesh of the under prepared.The take-off zone at the top is the only practical entry point, as the wave barrels lightening-fast without much of a shoulder. Turns are mostly reserved for post-barrel cutbacks or the occasional lip bash. Lance's Right is positioned on the eastern side of Sipora, which means it requires a southwest swell big enough to wrap around the southern tip of the island.
