Rifles is top of my bucket list. This place looks insane. I hear its a real bitch if you get caught inside.






Rifles - One of the best waves in the Mentawais. A very long righthander that wraps around the other side of the same island as No Kanduis. Rarely makeable from start to finish, but even just from section to section you can get rides up to 100 yards or longer. Nice and hollow once it's a few feet overhead, but usually more sectiony at smaller sizes.



Be warned though as when things go wrong they can go very wrong - check out this sneaker set

I never got to surf there when I was over there, it wasnt working at all

Clean up sets were like that tho in a few other spots

This was a great spot

Thanks Simondo, I prefer rights 2

Yeah for me it's more about the experiance, the missus maybe a couple good friends and a decent uncrowded wave and I'd be happy as.

Teahupoo - there's no way I'll ever be good enough to do it , it is a wish no a dream , maybe I'll go and sit in one of the boats one day and **** my pants just looking at a big day

Thats a good wave Gizzie - lots of fun - reminds me Shippies - it needs a really big swell to break. There is another left not far away called Pacasmayo which I think is better and maybe longer......I prefer it as it picks up more swell and you can get a ride from town out to the end of the point - beats a 40 min walk. Then you just paddle out and catch 3 or 4 waves and you end up back at town and then you do it all again. Heaven. Water is cold though
