Mentawai Diary day 1-4

Well we finally got internet connection!  We made it out to the Mentawai Islands on time and it was such a smooth ride out on board the Naga Laut we couldn’t believe it!  Light winds and calm seas made for a calm crossing that put us all to sleep. 

We eat 3-4 meals a day and talk story around this table and everyone is happy!

As far as the surf it doesn’t get any better than this…Absolutely no crowds and perfect waves like this!  What can we say?  Score!  Lances Rights got some nice waves and surfing with the local villagers instead of team riders from around the world is such a treat.  We surf this spot by ourselves a few times already so moved on to Lances Left and got this! Brad dropping in on a bomb set and after 6 hours of surfing he is going to move here I think?  Every day he is telling me that this is the “Best day ever!”

Imagine solid double overhead and nobody but us!  Wake me up I’m dreaming:)

 James Oshiro also showing us how to do it. All those days at the office is paying off big time.

Did some diving also and shot a nice dogtooth tuna all on film!

Fishing is awesome!  Put on my Gaji lure and Bam!  Al reeled in this huge sailfish that has been providing us pupus for days.  Its only day 4 and everyone is surfed out!  Tomorrow we surf Macaronies and can’t wait to surf the most rippable wave on this planetJ Good Night!
