This is a spot? - Now that we're using the term "Spot" so loosely, i'm just going to go ahead and post the sick left that comes in by Usman's dock in Teluk Bayur, i've seen like 10 kids aged 12 and under out there before! It was firing! I bet if you surf Air Manis you probably won't even want to go to the Mentawais anymore, it is that good. Be careful of the locals though, they are HEAVY!! They charged me 1000 rupiah to come into the beach, i was fighting it but then i realized it was about 10 cents, but when they raised it to 3000 i had to throw down. They were acting like they were poor or something.
