About Pitstops
ピットストップスは、シベルト島の北海岸にあるE-Bayのすぐ隣に位置する滑らかで楽しく、操作性の高い右波です。この波は、より深く、許容度の高いリーフの上でブレイクし、初心者、モダンロングボード、クアッド、ツインフィンに最適です。この波は、オープンな壁、フレンドリーなペース、そしてスウェルがそれほど大きくないときの一貫性で知られています。進歩するための完璧な場所であり、新しいラインを試したり、プレッシャーなしで流れることができます。ピットストップスは、メンタワイのプレイグラウンズエリアで最もフレンドリーで楽しく、多才なスポットの一つです！クリーンなマニューバ、流れ、リラックスしたセッション、さまざまなコンディションを求めるサーファーに理想的です。ピットストップスは、プレッシャーなしでサーフィンを楽しむのに最適なスポットです。
Local knowledge
ここにあるリーフは、他のプレイグラウンズのブレイクよりも深く、許容度が高いですが、依然として生きたサンゴです — 低潮時には浅いセクションがあることを期待し、通常のウニが頭に隠れています。主に注意すべきは、波が浅いサンゴにフェードする湾の内側と、ピットストップスがE-Bayのすぐ隣に位置し、良い日には複数のボートが停泊している忙しいチャーターゾーンでのボート交通です。
他のプレイグラウンズと同様にボート専用アクセスです — シベルトエリアのキャンプからチャーターまたはスピードボートで到着し、ボートはピークのすぐ外のチャンネルに停泊します。深いリーフの上をパドルインし、テイクオフのショルダーに座り、停泊しているボートから離れてください；波に押されて内側のサンゴに乗り上げるのではなく、同じ方法で出口に出ます。
許容度が高く、パフォーマンスに優れた波で、緩い装備を報いる波です — 小さくて遊び心のある日にはフィッシュ、ツイン、またはクアッドを持参するか、オープンな壁をノーズライドしたい場合はモダンロングボードを持参してください。大きなスウェルでは、通常のショートボードにステップアップしますが、ピットストップスは決してガンが必要になる前にバックオフします。
mellow — relaxed vibe.

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.
