The Mentawai Islands
A surf trip to the Mentawai Islands provides an insight into the original Indonesia. Here you see authentic Indonesian culture, untouched rainforest and empty waves. The distance from mainland Indonesia may not be so great, but it wasn’t until the start of the 20th century that the Mentawai’s had any western influences, meaning you have a much more authentic Indonesian experience when visiting. This really is the ideal island for any surfers who want to experience a real tropical paradise.
Pure Nature
Alongside the perfect waves you’ll have stunning natural surroundings to explore. There are pristine white sand beaches at your front door with the crystal clear, tropically warm, turquoise water only a few steps away. A short distance from the beach you start to come across the first reefs, which are full of life and colour. Behind the camp you have the lush tropical forest to discover.
The Original Indonesia
For those of you who want to experience Indonesian culture should visit Surf Resort Mentawai. You can go to one of the villages in the area with a local from the resort. You will meet extremely friendly locals who are happy to welcome you to see their life for yourself. It’s completely different to the Indonesian culture you find in bigger cities on Bali of Java.
The budget conscious option at Surf Resort Mentawai combines local design with western comfort standards. The bedroom has a ceiling fan, mosquito nets, a private, modern bathroom and beds to cater to 5 guests.
From the room and the private balcony you have a perfect view of the beach and Lances’ Left. You also have a hammock to enjoy quiet afternoons.
When you wake up in the Private Bungalow you can check the line-up at Lances’ Left, then walk the 20 meters to the water and take your first swim for the day. The Bungalows’ perfectly combine Indonesian flair, with modern amenities and comfort.
The bedroom and lounge area are air-conditioned and also have a ceiling fan. Each bungalow also has a private bathroom that meets the highest western standards, a private balcony with deck chairs & table as well as a hammock, and space to sleep 3 guests.
Lances' Left is the quintessential Indonesian wave. A perfectly formed left that’s fast, and probably the most consistent wave at Surf Resort Mentawai. The drop is relatively mellow and the ride is long and fun, making this one of the favourite spots for anyone visiting the Mentawais'. There are 2 sections when the swell gets bigger where you can tuck into solid barrels, but it's renowned more for the long ride with plenty of time to do big carves & hacks.
It’s the perfect wave to take your surfing to the next level because you get plenty of time standing on your board and the take-off. When you surf here you're confidence will build, and you’ll start paddling into bigger waves.
Otherwise known as Lances’ Right, HT’s is one of the best waves in the world if you are looking to get barrelled. You can catch the wave of your life here and it will make the whole trip worthwhile. The wave produces perfect, round barrels and relatively long rides to give you time to set a rail and spend some quality time in the green room.
HT’s works from 1 to 10+ ft. and is at its best with a slight offshore that you’ll usually find earlier in the morning.
On the other side of the beach from Lances’ Left and HT’s you find Bintangs. It’s a picture-perfect right-hand reef break. The take-off can be quite mellow, and once you start racing down the line you’ll find some steep sections, with a few barrel sections to top it off.
The idyllic white sand beach in front of the bungalows has various sand banks that can produce super fun waves. It’s the perfect place to catch a few fun waves in the midday heat or learn to surf.
There are plenty more surf spots in the area that are easily accessible via the speedboat and the local crew will check the conditions and take you to the waves that are perfect for you skill level.
