Mentawai Islands Waves: Pitstops

A fun, beginner wave at the WavePark Mentawai Surf Resort

Pitstops is a great right hander that peels over a mixture of sand and reef for about 100m. You can start your wave with a barrel, and end it by stepping off onto a beautiful little beach. Pitstops only handles up to about 3-4ft. when the bay closes out and the wave next door, Ebay, starts breaking.
