Burgerworld
Burgerworld is the most exposed break in the Mentawai Islands, picking up swell from every direction and sculpting quality right-hand tubes even during the low season. Located in the Playgrounds zone, the wave breaks over a shallow reef and can hold well on bigger days, offering consistent barrels when other spots may be flat. The diversity of swell angles it handles makes it one of the most reliable waves in the area.
