HT’s\/Hollow Trees\/Lances Rights are all different names, but is all the same spot. \u00a0It’s located in the Mentawai Islands and is probably one of the best right barrels in the world. \u00a0On a small day, there will be 50 guys fighting for waves. \u00a0Yes, 50 guys all paying thousands of dollars traveling half way around the world. \u00a0Sounds crazy right? \u00a0BUT when it’s big like this, it’s a different story. \u00a0You have to be an advanced surfer willing to take risks. \u00a0It’s very powerful, very shallow, and very dangerous. \u00a0Pulling into the barrel is easy, making it out over the shallow reef is the hard part. \u00a0They call the inside reef the\u00a0“surgeon’s table” because if you hit it, you will need a surgeon to stitch you up. \u00a0And the nearest surgeon is in the city of Padang which is 14 hours away by boat. \u00a0This particular day was HUGE! \u00a0It was breaking way outside so you’re taking off on 20′ faces, bottom turning, and pulling into the biggest and best barrels you can ever imagine. \u00a01000% commitment. This was one of the most memorable waves of my life. \u00a0I rode a 6’8 that \u00a0day and it didn’t survive that session. \u00a0Thank goodness it was only my board…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
