Anyone who has sampled the hollow delights of Lance’s Right on a good day will agree that it is one of the best waves in the world. Whether it’s an impossibly deep barrel from the section known as ‘The Office’ or a rippable wide bowl on a mellower day, Lance’s is everything a surfer ever dreamed of – well natural footers anyway.
However, it seems that Lance’s immaculate set-up has been scarred by a wrecked charter boat. Details on the incident are skinny and it’s not clear how the sunken boat will impact the wave, but it appears ‘The Praya Mentawai’ has been wrecked on the inside section of the reef known affectionately as The Surgeon’s Table.
More details will emerge but for now, we can only hope that one of the best waves in the world stays that way.
