Lance's Right

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surfer at Lance's Right, Mentawai Islands, Indonesia

Lance's Right (also known as HTs) is a surf reef break located in Indonesia, off Sipore Island, part of Sumatra's Mentawai Island chain. A reef break is an area in the ocean where waves start to break once they reach the shallows of a reef.[1]

It is known as a right, which means the wave breaks from right to left from the perspective of a watcher on shore. The break, along with the neighbouring left (Lance's Left) are named after the first person to surf both waves, Lance Knight.[2] The other name, HTs, is an abbreviation for Hollow Trees, because of a hollow tree that was on the point but has since washed away.
