The Real Kandui Surf Resort Mentawai Islands
July 11th surf report
Another day, another trip to Bankvaults! We are going to squeeze every barrel out of this swell that we can! And there were a few to be found today, although it was definitely slowing down out there. It was a beautiful day and I actually had to take some color OUT of the attached photo. The original just looked fake! We also surfed Nipusi, Beng Beng, and out in front of the resort. We have some motivated surfers on the island right now so we are getting all this area has to offer up right now. Looks like the swell should be on the decline tomorrow, but there might be some real swell on the horizon.
July 10th surf report
We’ve been living on a steady diet of Bankvaults this last week and it’s been pretty good to us. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it! We were back there this morning and scored again. Conditions were perfect and the sets were a little bigger than yesterday. Some of our guests bypassed Bankvaults and surfed Nupussi. Why not? The waves were overhead, conditions were perfect, and it was empty! The pros came out to Bankvaults about midday when the swell was peaking (how do they know???!!!). Conditions were a notch below the morning perfection, but they were showing us all how the wave should be ridden. Ross Willams got some nice barrels and Talor Knox threw down the hack from hell on a solid wave. I’m sure you will see it all in a magazine or movie soon. With all the attention at Bankvaults, one of our boats went around to Beng Beng and surfed it by themselves. Sets were head high plus with good conditions and it was nice to beat the crowds again. We’re looking at smaller surf tomorrow, but it still should be plenty fun.
