About Ebay

E-Bayは、メンタワイの北部、プレイグラウンズと呼ばれるエリアに位置する、空洞で速く、非常に美しい左の波です。この波は鋭く予測可能なリーフの上でブレイクし、特に朝の早い時間帯にクリスタルのようなバレルとクリティカルなセクションを生成します。クリーンでテクニカルなバレルを求める上級サーファーに最適ですが、コンディションが穏やかなときには中級者にも管理しやすいセクションを提供します。

Local knowledge

Hazards

E-Bayのリーフは浅く、鋭く、非常に厳しいため、特に内側のセクションや低潮時には生きたサンゴの上で乾いてしまいます。ここで内側に捕まると、リーフラッシュや切り傷、ダメージのリスクがあります。波は速くて空洞なので、ワイプアウトすると底に叩きつけられることが多いです。ウニや時折リーフの端を流れる流れも加わります。チャーターボートが後ろに停泊していると、経験豊富なサーファーで混雑するので、テイクオフゾーンでの交通やドロップインに注意してください。

Getting there

E-Bayは、北メンタワイのプレイグラウンズエリアにあるボート専用のブレイクで、サーフキャンプやライブボードからのチャーターボートまたはスピードボートでアクセスします。陸からのアクセスは特にありません。ショルダーのチャンネルにアンカーを下ろすか、降ろしてもらい、そこからピークに向かってパドルします。チャンネルを使って戻り、内側のリーフに押し流されないようにセットの間のラルで出口のタイミングを計ってください。リーフの上に水を保つために、中潮から満潮の時にサーフィンするのが最適です。

Board

胸から頭の高さの楽しい日には標準的なハイパフォーマンスショートボードを持参してくださいが、オーバーヘッドで波が盛り上がっているときには、6'4"〜6'8"のピンタイルまたはステップアップボードに切り替えて、急で速いテイクオフを行い、バレルを通してクリーンなラインを保つことができます。ここでは、リップの下で信頼できる少し引き締まったチューブボードの方が、余分なボリュームよりも価値があります。

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.
