About This Break

Bintangs is a fast, hollow right-hand reef break on the southern coast of Sipora Island in Indonesia's Mentawai Islands. Situated near the renowned Katiet surf zone, home to Lance's Left and Lance's Right (HT's), Bintangs offers powerful, high-performance surfing over a shallow coral reef.

The wave is known for its quick takeoff, steep walls and short, intense barrel sections. Unlike the long, open-faced walls of Lance's Left, Bintangs delivers a more compact and technical ride that rewards precise positioning and fast reactions. The wave is particularly attractive to experienced surfers looking for hollow rights away from the main HT's lineup.

Bintangs is part of the broader South Sipora surf destination, where tropical scenery, remote island living and proximity to world-class waves make the coastline appealing to surf-focused property buyers.

International Surf Properties helps surfers discover, buy, sell and invest in surf real estate throughout the Mentawai Islands. Explore opportunities to own property near Bintangs and some of Indonesia's most sought-after surf breaks.
