Hideaways is an occasionally heavy left in the Playgrounds region. Most people do not surf here because of it's fickle nature; however, when it's working it's one of the best waves in the Mentawai's. Not really a "secret" wave but not surfed very often either.
Our Advice: Hideaways is known as the "Mentawai Pipeline" - if you're not a competent surfer or comfortable in ledgy waves be careful out there.
