Kandui Surf Resort Mentawai Islands
Oct 7th surf report
Honestly, the last trip was a bit of a disappointment. They got the last tail end
of a swell when they arrived and got the beginning of another swell before they
left, but with some bad winds as well. Not every 10 day trip is epic, but we still
surfed some fun Bugerworld, Beng Beng, and Nipusi, and we surfed everyday except
one. As you could have predicted, our next group walked straight into a nice
swell! It could have been better. It was the perfect direction for Rifles and it
was double overhead plus out there, but we were overdue for southeast winds and
wouldn’t you know that they would come with a perfect Rifles swell! Oh well,
Kandui’s is a pretty good booby prize. It was super clean there and the waves were
still going a few feet overhead and it was, of course, barreling! There was an
entertainment factor as well as there had been a lot of smack talk between Justice
and Kaliang about who had the biggest huevos before this swell
came and Justice told Kaliang to stop pumping and crouching and just pull in and
stand up! Kaliang obliged. He got smoked, but Justice was cheering him on from
the channel and he got the shot as well! We are hoping the swell will keep pumping
tomorrow.
