Hideaways
It is one of the best and most consistent lefts in the Mentawais. It breaks over one of the most beautiful coral reefs in the area. It is safer at high tide and really good at mid-tide. It can be dangerous but a perfect pipeline on low tide. At 6 feet to 8 feet and off shore it is unbelievably perfect. A fair easy take off puts you straight into a very powerful barrel section. Without doubt one of the best waves in the area. It might be the only option when the southern winds are blowing hard.
