Kandui Surf Resort, Oct 9th surf report.
Sorry for the gap in surf reports but, as I’m sure you all know, Padang suffered a major earthquake and our thoughts have been with our friends and family there. It looks like anyone connected with Kandui is ok. A small miracle considering how many buildings we frequent went [...]

Kandui Surf Resort, Sep 16th surf report
Wednesday (9/16) started off really windy. Everyone was mostly hanging around the restaurant in the morning, with only Paul braving choppy head-high 4Bobs. Nipussi and Bankvaults were the only spots likely to be working with the north wind, so the plan was to send a boat there early, [...]

Kandui Surf Resort, Sep surf report
Our last couple of days were pretty big. The swell had a lot of south in it and we were hoping for that epic Rifles session. We had a little wind window for it, but not the day of days like we always imagine when a nice Rifles swell is [...]

Kandui Surf Resort, September surf report.
Our new group showed up on Saturday and were welcomed with some nice, uncrowded, overhead Rifles. We were out just after dawn and surfed it all morning until the tide was too low. There were smiles all around as that is the kind of waves you come to the Mentawais [...]

Kandui Surf Resort, August 21st surf report
Our new group stepped off the plane into some good surf. They were too tired after all the traveling to go out to Rifles with the hour and a half or so of light they had left, so they ended up surfing some clean, overhead 4 Bobs while three [...]

Kandui Surf Resort, August 16th surf report
Well, our swell came in today. Not as big as we expected, but there was still a lot of water moving. Unfortunately, the winds were strong out of the northwest and that forced all the boats to move to our area because the playgrounds was pretty much the only [...]

Kandui Surf Resort, August 14th surf report
Before this new group arrived, we were looking at the extended forecasts and we were thinking it wasn’t looking too good. I guess that’s what we get for thinking because it has been so fun! I am going to post some pictures of Kandui’s just because it’s hard to [...]

Well, our latest swell wasn’t the macker we were hoping for, but it had a good amount of west in it and the winds were right for the spots that take that direction so it was all good. A few of our guests really wanted to surf Telescopes so [...]

Kandui Surf Resort, 20th July 09
Well the mantra of the day was patience. After seeing the swell drop off for sure we conceded to a day here around the resort. It wasn’t for lack of trying as one boat searched Hider’s , Beng Beng, and Burgerworld in hopes of some clean empty waves. The rest [...]

Another fun one out here at Kandui Resort today. We saw a small drop in the swell size, but still overhead at most spots. We started the day out at Beng Beng and with no-one out and no wind, the conditions were ripe. Everyone had a great time and [...]

Kandui Surf Resort, July 7th through 17th surf report
Sorry for the lag in the surf reports! We have had 3 swells roll through these last 10 days. But we were so spoiled by the epic month that preceded them that they seemed a bit lack luster. There were moments at Kandui and Bankvaults and Hideaways, [...]

Our swell on the 3rd was a bit smaller that the day before, but Rifles was cleaner with only light north winds, so we decided to get on it early rather than look anywhere else. The waves were a few feet overhead and the crowd factor was [...]

Our latest swell came in a little smaller than we expected, but it was still plenty fun. The winds were a little on the funky side with northeast being the trend. That is not the ideal wind for any spot, but we managed to find some [...]

The swell was definitely looking bigger in front of the resort on Friday, but a devil northeast wind was blowing hard and that only left Nipusi as an option for us. It was well overhead and fun. Only a few other guys were out, and not for [...]
