About Rags Right
Rags Right adalah right-hander yang cepat dan punchy yang terletak di terumbu yang sama dengan counterpart left-hand-nya, menawarkan ombak hollow dan kuat untuk peselancar yang percaya diri. Ombak ini cepat muncul dari terumbu, memberi imbalan kepada mereka yang dapat membaca titik lepas landas dan mempertahankan garis bersih melalui barrel. Ini dapat menangani berbagai ukuran swell dan merupakan pelengkap yang bagus ketika yang kiri terputus-putus. Peselancar tingkat lanjut akan menemukan banyak hal untuk membuat mereka sibuk dalam sesi yang panjang.
Local knowledge
Terumbu di Rags dangkal dan tidak memaafkan — terjatuh di bagian yang salah dapat membuat Anda terjatuh di atas karang hidup dalam kurang dari satu meter air saat pasang surut, jadi sepatu boot sangat dianjurkan. Zona lepas landas berada dekat dengan rak terumbu, dan rail yang terjepit atau drop terlambat akan mengirim Anda jatuh ke atasnya; perhatikan juga arus lateral yang meningkat melalui set dan mendorong Anda ke bagian dalam. Lalu lintas kapal adalah kenyataan yang konstan di Mentawai — selalu periksa arus sebelum mendayung melintasi saluran.
Rags Right hanya dapat diakses dengan perahu — Anda akan mencapainya melalui charter selancar atau perahu harian dari Tua Pejat di Sipora, sekitar 30–60 menit tergantung pada lokasi Anda. Berlabuh di saluran air dalam antara Rags Left dan Right, dan mendayung sedikit jarak ke zona lepas landas; saluran ini menyediakan paddle-out yang relatif bersih tanpa ombak yang pecah. Kembali keluar ke saluran antara set — jangan mencoba keluar di atas terumbu menuju bagian dalam.
Shortboard berkinerja tinggi dalam rentang 6'0"–6'4" dengan sedikit tambahan volume di bawah dada adalah titik manis — ombak ini memberi imbalan pada dorongan dan pegangan melalui bagian hollow. Naiklah ke semi-gun 6'6"–6'10" ketika swell solid mendorong di atas kepala, dan siapkan fish atau groveller untuk hari-hari kecil yang jarang dan tidak bertenaga.
moderate — be polite, wait your turn.

Surfing in Mentawai
Full Mentawai surf guide →If there's one name that makes surfers go quiet and start saving, it's the Mentawai. This remote archipelago of more than 70 islands sits off the west coast of Sumatra, fully exposed to raw Indian Ocean swell, and it has earned its reputation as one of the most concentrated, high-quality wave zones on Earth.
✈️Getting there
All routes run through Padang, the port city in West Sumatra. Fly into Padang's Minangkabau International Airport (PDG), usually via Jakarta, or via Kuala Lumpur or Singapore on regional carriers.
🛵Getting around
The Mentawai are about boats, not roads. Once you arrive, your daily transport to the waves is by boat — either the liveaboard itself or the resort's tenders and speedboats running surfers out to the breaks.
🌤️Climate & season
The Mentawai are equatorial, hot and humid year-round, with water warm enough for boardshorts or a thin top (roughly 27–29°C). There's no real winter — just wetter and drier patterns.
