Kandui Surf Resort, Mentawai islands. August 1st surf report The waves were looking pretty big out front this morning. Unfortunately for us Rifles lovers, the winds were out of the southeast. When we saw this south-ish swell coming, we were hoping for some Rifle’s winds. So plan B was the call and we headed out to E-Bay. The guys had such a good time there yesterday and they were hoping for a repeat. The swell was about the same size as yesterday over there, but it was not quite as clean with the strong winds this morning. The guys had a good time though, and it was the last surf of their trip as they were leaving today. Our new guests were arriving today as well. We have “Team Surftech” here, shapers and riders and photogs, and it looks like we will have plenty of swell on their trip so you will no doubt be seeing pictures of their time here at Kandui in the future. We have Timmy Patterson, Pat O’Connell, Josh Kerr, Greg and Eric Geiselman, Nate Lawrence, Travis Ferre, Duke Brouwer, Patrick Shanghnessey, Glenn Pang, Mikela Jones, Phil and Parrish Byrne, and Phil MacDonald here right now. It should be a fun trip. They got a great first session too! They went to Hideaways late morning and the waves were double overhead on the sets. The conditions were getting cleaner as the morning wore on and they were getting shacked! Great way to start the trip. I the afternoon the guys wanted to do some turns and airs and stuff, so they went to Pitstop’s and got some overhead, fun waves. The crew was stoked again and surfed until dark. Looking for a little drop in the surf tomorrow.
Kandui Surf Resort, Mentawai islands. July 31st surf report Our new swell was starting to show this morning. The winds were out of the south, but only lightly. The boys were heading to look at Hideaways, but saw a set come through Rifles and made a hard right turn to go check it out. The sets there were a little overhead and were barreling even with the light onshore winds so they got out there. They had it to themselves and surfed for hours before the wind came up a little more strongly and they decided it was lunchtime. The second boat went to Beng Beng. The waves there were a little overhead with good conditions and no one was out. They surfed for quite a while and the surf was getting a little bigger the whole time, so they decided to give E-Bay a look to see what the increasing swell was doing over there. When they got there they saw waves coming in that were 4 feet overhead on the sets. Conditions were perfect with the light offshore winds, and no one was out! Some of the group were getting stand-up barrels, one after another. One of our guests had the session of his life, and he was a veteran surfer! Our guys were very stoked when they got back to the resort. Looking for even bigger surf tomorrow.
