About Greenbush
グリーンブッシュは、インドネシア全体で最もチューブ状で速く、暴力的な左波の一つです。パガイ島の近く、南メンタワイに位置し、この波は非常に浅いリーフの上でブレイクし、厚く、長く、非常に危険なバレルを作り出します。このスポットは誰にでも向いているわけではなく、上級者またはプロレベルの技術、優れたライン読み、そして多くの自信が必要です。ここでのワイプアウトは高くつく可能性があります。南メンタワイで最も激しく、危険で完璧な波、グリーンブッシュ！このスポットは純粋なアドレナリン：鋼の神経を持つサーファーと、乾いたリーフの上での重いバレルに経験を持つサーファーのための超ホロウでテクニカルな左波です。
Local knowledge
非常に浅く、鋭い生きたサンゴのリーフ — これはメンタワイで最も危険な波の一つで、ここでの失敗したテイクオフやエアドロップは乾いたリーフに落ちることになるので、深刻な切り傷、ボードの破損、そして潜在的な怪我を覚悟してください。この波は厚く、速いスラブ状の左波で、インサイドセクションで強くピッチします；ドリルされると、非常に少ない水の中で激しい打撃を受けます。大きなスウェルでは強い流れがリーフに沿って押し寄せ、クローズアウトバレルでのホールドダウンは本当のリスクがあるので、バックアップと冷静な頭を持たずにサーフィンしないでください。
グリーンブッシュはボートアクセスのみで、南パガイエリアからチャーターまたはスピードボートで到達します；ほとんどのサーファーはメンタワイのボートトリップで到着し、リーフのオフのチャンネルにアンカーを下ろします。チャンネルからパドルインし、ピークのオフでラインアップします — 簡単なビーチエントリーはなく、あなたのボート/スキフが出口なので、ピックアップや緊急時のために近くに置いておいてください。リーフの上にもう少し水を保つために、中潮から高潮の時に行くことをお勧めします。
完全に信頼できるチューブ専用ボードを持参してください — 遅れて垂直に落ち、バレル内で高いラインを維持できる速くてロックの低いステップアップまたはピンテール（サイズに応じて6'4"〜6'10"を考えてください）です。大きな日には、適切なステップアップ/セミガンにサイズアップしてください；早くラインに入って、すぐに下に行けないボードはこの場所には向いていません。
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.
