About This Break

Lance’s Left is one of southern Sipora’s standout waves, combining long rides with room for powerful turns and barrel sections. Set against a palm-lined coastline, this consistent left-hand reef break offers the kind of surfing that draws travelers back to the Mentawai Islands.

At around head high, Lance’s Left delivers open walls for turns, with opportunities to pull into hollow sections. Multiple takeoff zones spread the action along the reef. Larger swells bring steeper drops, more powerful faces, and demanding barrels.

The Mentawai Islands are reached by boat from Padang on mainland Sumatra. Browse surf resorts, land and homes for sale in the Mentawai Islands and across Indonesia on International Surf Properties.
