INDIES SURF SPOTS :: RIFLES


Rifles on its day must be rated in the top 5 waves in the world. It is perfect, hollow and VERY VERY LONG. But this right hand point break does not deliver very often and easily gets blown out. But when it goes it will have onlookers slack jawed. Three 10 second barrels on one wave is common place. When someone takes off they are a speck in the distance, driving from tube to tube until they pass right by you and then disappear from sight down the line.

It works only on a S swell and glassy or westerly wind conditions. If it was more consistent it would be the best wave in the Mentawais
