general information

Lance's Left is more usable for less experienced surfers than Lance's Right. It offers good solid walling rides with a few barrel sections, check it in clean southwesterly swells and don't be suprised to find a few other boat charters anchored here with dozens of other surfers.

Lance's Left is one of the most popular destinations in the Mentawai's for consistency and quality. It is an occasionally grinding left with multiple take-off zones and during the right conditions two distinct barrel sections. Despite its relatively harmless allure Lance's Left can pack a serious punch. The extreme inside sports a series of limestone fingers with deep gaps in between, keep this in mind as before you try to squeeze in that last roundhouse. The place can hold size, up to ten feet, and is often compared to G-Land's Moneytrees section as steep take-offs throw you down the line with impressive speed and flow.
