Kandui Surf Resort Mentawai Islands, The Trip part 4
Monday, July 12th, 2010
The Trip part 4 We were kind of expecting a little break in the action. The swell was looking noticeably smaller out front and we had a long breakfast and no one was in any hurry to go looking for waves. Eventually, we got a boat together and the plan was to head over to [...]

March 17th surf report
Our first group of guests for the 2010 season left yesterday. They were here for 17
days and got fun surf just about everyday. And, being early in the season, we were
surfing with only a handful of other surfers or we had the lineup to ourselves most
all the time. Our last surf was memorable. The swell was just small enough for
Burgerworld to be breaking properly and the winds turned west around midday, which
is the perfect wind for that spot. It was just what you dream about when you plan
your Mentawaiian vacation. Sunny skies, 85 degree water, light offshore winds,
overhead waves, and not another soul in sight. Even though we surfed for 3 or 4
hours and our bodies were spent, it was still hard to paddle to the boat as the sun
was setting. I’m sure our departing guests all had smiles on there faces in the
plane as they traveled back home.
We have a rare, little break between groups, then our next guests arrive on the
20Th. The Indian Ocean looks like it’s coming to life and I’m sure we will get some
good waves.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
