Tapping into the Vault, Mentawai Islands Tapping into the Vault, Mentawai Islands No. 31872 Buy

Final Voyage 22nd June 2012

We spent 12 days at sea surfing 12 different surf breaks amongst 3 overlapping swells in the Mentawais. We had 7 surfers on board the 47-foot Tengirri catching on average 40-50 waves each per day, sometimes more. Most days we’d surf 3 times on waves no smaller than 3 foot and no bigger than 8 foot. Needless to say, we had a pretty amazing tour of the islands – my 15th trip there and I still don’t bore of the place. I even saw new stuff on this trip.

If you’d like to go on a charter like this book with Tengirri, one of the most professionally run boats in the islands. You’ll need 6 or 7 people and there are 2 available charters left for this year, 8-20 Sept and 20 Oct – 1 Nov. Email Anthony@tengirri.com otherwise lock in next year!

See you back in Bondi :: uge
