Kandui Surf Resort Mentawai Islands
Sep 13th surf report
The Hideaways fest continues! We had another great day yesterday and, just when we thought it was over, we scored again today! When we got there this morning, the swell was looking smaller, the wind was not quite right, and it was crowded. Tyson, our medic, and a couple of our guests paddled out. The rest were content to hang out, and I took a nap! As I was sleeping, the crowd gradually left and the conditions got better. The only missing ingredient was size, and I lifted up my head just in time to see Tyson taking off on a bomb and about 5 more big ones right behind it! Thinking it was a fluke, I waited a bit and, sure enough, another set poured through! I couldn’t get out there fast enough. For about an hour before the tide got too low, it was just pumping. Possibly the biggest, best waves of the week and with only a handful of other guys out. Check out the pictures! The photos from the beach angle are from this morning. Unfortunately for Justice, he was also on the beach taking video and pretty much wanted to find a vine and hang himself as he watched many of the set waves going unridden. We went and got him, but it’s a time consuming thing when we take beach shots and it was all over by the time the boat returned. We owe him some Bintangs!
