Mentawai Surf Journal Day 1-4

One of the biggest swells of the year and we have been busy surfing some of the best waves of our lives!  We started up north in the playground area with overhead surf on day 1 and 2 with 5 spots ridden.  This is David Watmull on a double overhead wave at 4 bobs.


Perfect lefts peeling forever!


The swell arrived on day 3 (Oct 9) as forecasted and it was big!  We moved to Telescopes where it was going off 4-6 ft plus and perfect!  Sean Nakamura got this sick wave which made his day!


James Oshiro also took off on some bombs sets impressing everyone! 


Clifton Yasutomi bottom turning on the beauty!  Clifton always dreamed of surfing a perfect left and with majority being regular footers he was super happy!


Day 4 (Oct 10) the swell was still pumping big!  We checked lances left and it was 8 ft and bumpy so we decided to move the boat further south in search for some rideable waves.  We pulled up to this secret left which proved to be one of the most photogenic  break ever!  Day 5 (Oct 11) we are now at macaronis surfing the most rippable left in the world.  Stay tuned…
