Mentawai Islands Waves: Rifles

A charging wave for expert surfers at the WavePark Mentawai Surf Resort

A mirror image of Kandui, this right is considered by some to be the best wave in the Mentawai Islands, and sometimes the world, when ideal conditions prevail.

All-Inclusive Packages

Rastovich

One of Dave's favorite waves, judging by how he surfs it!

Best?

Most perfect wave in the world?

Goofy or Natural

Doesn't matter, as long as you know about the barrel.

Longest barrel in Mentawai?

With 18 "holes", this course is full length.

Big or small

3ft. - 15ft, Rifles breaks the same speed regardless.

Piping barrels

This is what we love about Rifles.

Spitting

Just sitting there watching is enough.

High line

You'll hear the guides say "high and tight" as a mantra.

Park it

There is no better place to get barreled.
