The Real Kandui Surf Resort Mentawai Islands
Sep 3rd surf report
This swell looked good on the charts, and it didn’t disappoint! The winds looked like they might be a bit of a problem with the howling souths that have been blowing, and when we got to Hideaways we weren’t sure how the day would develop. It was wild looking. Big, lumpy, windy, and with a ripping current thrown in for good measure. It’s not often you get a group of guys on a 10 day vacation that are up for that kind of thing, but our guys jumped in and got right out there! And they were rewarded big time when the all the elements calmed down and suddenly it was magic! It was big and barreling, but so clean and makable, and here was only a couple of other people in the water besides our crew. It was a session for the history books, and it was topped off when a guy (the only guy in the water besides our crew at the time!) accidentally dropped in on our guest, Christian, causing him to straighten out a little bit to avoid a collision. The guy managed to kick out, but left Christian with no hope to kick out and a big, nasty, frothy section looming up in front on him. Only one thing to do. Pull in! And that is exactly what he did and everyone was cheering when he ended up coming out of that monster! That was just epic and a great cap on a great day. I’ll attach a picture of that wave and more.
We are looking a this swell to drop slowly, then another couple of swells are in the pipeline.
