THE SURF


The Mentawai Islands are one of the most consistent surf destinations in the world. It's broad exposure towards the vast, southern Indian Ocean provides these islands with remarkable consistency and quality. During the dry season, from late April to early November, the Indian Ocean is a powerful groundswell producing machine. During this time, surf charters offer curious surfers the opportunity to score the best waves of their lives. The Mentawai Islands are located approximately 100 miles off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia's northern most and largest island, and the port city of Padang, launching point for Mentawai surf charters. There are 4 main islands in the archipelago, with numerous smaller islands surrounding these, many lined up perfectly to catch the swells from the Indian Ocean.

LOCATION

The Mentawai Islands
The Mentawai Islands are located approximately 100 miles off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia's northern most and largest island, and the port city of Padang, launching point for Mentawai surf charters. There are 4 main islands in the archipelago, with numerous smaller islands surrounding these. The recent discovery of world-class surf in the Mentawai archipelago and subsequent exposure of images of the region in international surf media has pushed the archipelago to the brink of an explosion of surfing tourism development. Foreign tourism operators in the area are, however, aware of the potential for negative impacts upon the local environment, culture, social fabric, and economy if tourism is allowed to develop unchecked. For this reason, attempts are being made from within the surfing tourism industry, as well as from local government, to manage surfing tourism development. In an effort to minimise the exploitation of this sovereign area and to build sustainable tourism, surf travel is nearly completely restricted to authorised surf charter companies.
