Stormrider

Stormrider is the Playgrounds zone's heavy-hitter—a left-hand barrel named after the iconic surf guidebook series that first documented the Mentawai Islands for the traveling surfer. When solid swells march in from the Indian Ocean, this wave transforms into one of the heaviest tubes in the island chain, demanding commitment and delivering consequences. The shallow inside reef leaves no margin for error, but for those seeking serious Mentawai tubes away from the right-hand crowds, Stormrider offers the kind of raw barrel experience that defines Indonesian surf exploration.
