The Mentawai Islands are a chain of about seventy islands and islets off the western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. Siberut is the largest of the islands. The other major islands are Sipura, North Pagai (Pagai Utara) and South Pagai (Pagai Selatan). The islands lie approximately 150 km off the Sumatran coast, across the Mentawai Strait. The indigenous inhabitants of the islands are known as the Mentawai people. The Mentawai Islands have become a noted destination for surfing. (Source Wikipedia)
Recently surfed, the Mentawai are a super consistent area for surfing. This is a fragile environment. Bring a lot of equipment with. Bigger boards are needed. |

Good surf.
