Suicides Right
Suicides Right is a fast, shallow barrel in South Sipora, Mentawai Islands, located near the legendary HT's. The wave breaks over an unforgiving reef shelf, creating quick, intense tube rides that demand expert-level surfing and precise wave knowledge. Named for the consequences of mistiming, this right-hander is strictly for experienced barrel riders who understand the risks of shallow Indo reef breaks.
