Island paradise
There’s a whopping 17,508 islands in Indonesia. 245.5 million people call this place home. Out here in the Mentawai Archipelago you barely see a single sole on these small palm lined islands. It’s like another world…where dug out canoes are still the most popular form of transport.

The waves are consistently good up here. Even when the swell is small you can find an easy 3-4 foot pipe on a sharp tropical reef. Most breaks have a ‘greedy’ spot…like today’s tubular right at low tide…should you take your wave too far there is a price to be paid. Just ask Damo…

Our charts say a large swell is arriving today…yeha. end transmission::uge
