E Bay - This world class left hander is both powerful and fast and for experienced surfers only

Kandui - On a good day runs for upto 300m with plenty of barrel sections

HT's (Lances right) - Named Hollow Tree this world famous break is still the best right hander in the Mentawais. Though the tree is now gone.

Lances Left - On the other side to HT's this hollow left holds well up to 12ft but is still a great ride in 3 - 5ft

Icelands - This swell magnet around the corner from Aloita resort is a great fun wave in 4 - 6ft and walls up like a skate park.

Telescopes - A long perfect left that just keeps on barreling - you might remember this wave from the Young Guns movie.

Pitstops - This consistant, fun right will work in both NW and SW swell.

Maccas - Mechanical left hander that just keeps on going. One of the best performance waves on the planet.

Rifles - Can produce the barrel of a lifetime or a pounding you will not forget.
