Surf Spots
It is true that the Mentawai islands deliver ideal swell as consistent as you dare dream but due to its apparent remote location the islands have only really been touched by surfers within the last 10 years.

Made up of 4 major islands the Mentawai islands receive consistent swell throughout thanks to the South westerly swells that pour through the Sunoa Trench. Some of the most famous breaks around the islands include:

Kandui Left: The fastest left hander you are ever likely to surf, from 4ft. -- 12ft. Good imitation of a sister wave, G-land. This is your best chance to get the barrel of your life, if you have the guts.

Rifles: A mirror image of Kandui, this right is considered by some to be the best wave in the Mentawai Islands, and sometimes the world, when ideal conditions prevail.

Hideaways: The left-hand reef-pass off the point at WPM is visible from the Losmen. A perfect left barrel, this wave eludes most without local knowledge. This wave is the most enjoyed wave in the WavePark by the majority of guests in 2006.

Bank Vaults: Only one guess how this wave acquired it\'s name. Think heavy steel doors, secret unlocking combinations and burly guards with smack-down attitude.

Tikis: A very consistent right-hand peak, Tiki\'s is the most dependable surf spot in the WavePark. Surfable at every tide and for every surfing level, this wave is very enjoyable and challenging. Very rip able.

But dont worry, the waves arent the dramatic, over-powered explosions of winter Hawaii, or the almost supernatural, curving menace of southwest Tahiti. Theyre silky, perfectly formed and balanced. They swing among the islands in a refracted dance around deepwater reefs and tidal channels, and bend into quick, delicate shapes. The water is 28ºC. and is quite probably the best surf in the world.
