Surfing Lance's Left

Lance's Left is on the other side of the peninsula from Lance's Right, on Sipora. It's less famous but handles more size and more wind, with long, lined-up walls, and many people surf it more than the Right.

You take off on a shifting peak, link three or four sections and finish deep in the bay. At 4-8ft it's fine for advanced surfers; above 10ft it's the main big-wave option in the south. It works in NE-E winds, which blow out the Right, so the two waves cover each other.

There are several takeoff spots, so the crowd spreads out. It sometimes barrels, but mostly it's a wave for turns. Bring a step-up with good paddle.
