Kandui Surf Resort, Mentawai islands. August 4th surf report We were looking at southeast winds again this morning. The swell was only a bit smaller. Eventually, the boys got inspired and took a couple of boats over to Pitstops. They surfed the head high, fun waves there and then a few of the crew took one of the boats over to Beng Beng. The waves there were a little over head and the conditions were good. They surfed until they had no arms left, then returned to the resort for a late lunch. In the afternoon we all hung around the resort. The angle of our swell is pretty south and it was still pumping some sizeable waves into our area. If the winds were better, we would have been surfing Rifles everyday of this current swell. Damn! Anyway, we settled for fun, overhead 4 Bobs and John Candys, and some of the guys even gave a little ridden wave called Little Nias a try today (it’s a fast, shallow right off of Karambat Left) and were pretty successful. Our group right now is super talented and could surf anything, anywhere I am sure! We are hoping a little medium interval swell will roll in tomorrow and keep us in fun surf until our macker swell starts to show on Monday.
Kandui Surf Resort, Mentawai islands. August 3rd surf report The winds were out of the southeast again this morning. The swell was looking a little smaller out front. Nobody looked like they were in a big hurry to look for surf, but around mid morning Pat rallied the troops and we sent a boat to Hideaways. It was a little smaller than yesterday, but still plenty of fun with the occasional overhead set rolling through. The rest of the day we were all taking shifts surfing 4 Bobs. It was a little chunky out there with the onshore winds, but it was trying to get glassy the whole afternoon and the waves were overhead with the south swell, so we all had a lot of fun and I think Nate got some good pictures. We are looking at decreasing swell again tomorrow.
