Ask any surfer: If you could go on a surf trip anywhere on the planet, where would you go? There is no doubt that the Mentawais would be one of the most popular answers. These secluded tropical islands deliver the absolute perfection that surfers dream about all their lives.

A mind-blowing selection of 15+ world-class breaks.

Experience perfection: from flawless barrels to world-class playful waves.

Fast boats to surf spots daily, all healthy & delicious meals, & a gorgeous resort.

Beautiful & spacious beachfront bungalows with A/C & hot showers.

High quality of surf coaching: 4 guides for 10 surfers max.

The Mentawai islands is probably the most wave-rich location on Earth. To our knowledge, no other destination offers as many perfect waves within 45 minutes of each other. By looking at the map, it’s easy to see that no matter the swell or wind direction, this incredible wave selection will provide unforgettable rides. With its variety of reef breaks, point breaks, secluded bays, rights and lefts, we will find the perfect waves for you.

The area is known for its flawless, warm-water waves, consistent swells and light winds. You might have heard of one or more of these famous waves:

Intermediate spots:

As a “beginner-to-intermediate” surf coaching company, we know you are probably not looking for 12 feet grinders breaking over extremely shallow reef. That is why we are here. We chose the Nyang-Nyang location because it is also loaded with easier and safer waves (but still world-class!). On any given day, clean, shoulder-to-head high waves are almost guaranteed to peel flawlessly.

Secret spots

Not all the waves in the Mentawais are known. There are still plenty of waves that are relatively unknown that you could end up surfing with just a few friends!

While most surf camps aim for the “big name spots”, our team of 4 surf guides for a maximum of 10 surfers will make sure you surf the best waves for your level every day. The team is dedicated to finding the absolute best options, often navigating to unchartered territory to search for uncrowded peaks.

Only 10 spots available, with 4 surf guides

The best guide/surfer ratio in the Mentawais! You will be taking boats to surf amazing spots with only 4 other surfers (2 surf coaches for 4 surfers per boat, on average, depending on how the group is split). One guide will be in the water, helping you understand each spot and providing tips for you to catch some of the best waves of your life. The other guide will be taking videos of the waves you take as a souvenir and for further technical analysis.

Local knowledge & unlimited transfers to waves

In order to bring you to the optimal spots for your level, we have 2 different boats and offer unlimited rides to the waves twice per day (unless the surf is better just down from the resort!). Our guides have the experience and knowledge to take you to unknown spots so that you can enjoy perfection with only a few surfers out!

Is this trip for me?

This is an “intermediate” only surf trip. You need to have a minimum of experience to truly enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

You can join this trip if:

You can catch unbroken waves by yourself.

You can angle your take-off to go either left or right.

You can draw your line on a “green wave” with a minimum of control.

You feel comfortable in head-high waves.

You’re an intermediate surfer wishing to surf epic waves while progressing to the next level.

This trip is not for you if:

You have never tried surfing

You surfed a few days in the past but still struggle with your take-off

You are a very advanced surfer looking for 12-feet grinding barrels over shallow reef*

*To provide a personalized surfing experience, we bring our intermediate guests to the best conditions for their level. We do not take very advanced surfers on this trip as it would compromise our ability to provide a unique, customized service.

Our team would be very thrilled if we could help intermediate-to-advanced surfers get some of their first barrels, but if you have the level to ride big, hollow barrels, other charter boat services would be a better option.
