Re: Mentawai quiver.
yeah, she was a great indicator of the sets and where to be positioned and a pretty cool surfer.

Re: Mentawai quiver.
Really? That’s the only way I took it. Aggressive adult learners taking primo set waves and blowing them. Then positioning for more. Urrgghh.
Re: Mentawai quiver.
Yeah, lovely woman. They run a nice set up. Pretty chill vibe and nice accommo/food etc. Was considering going back on a last minute trip recently but yeah, it adds up and with 2 young kids and a Mrs at home it feels way too indulgent.steve shearer wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 4:39 pmyeah, she was a great indicator of the sets and where to be positioned and a pretty cool surfer.

Re: Mentawai quiver.
2,350 usd for 10 days/9 nights full board and transfers to Padang. So not too bad but with the exchange rate not being great and another $1000 for flights I couldn't justify it.

Re: Mentawai quiver.
Very flawed. Needs perfect swell direction and currents. Super sectiony and short walls generally. Some strong currents wrap around that corner. The reef is beautiful, hadn't been blasted when we were there. The snorkelling was way better than the waves. It was by far the poorest quality wave I surfed in the Ments. I've heard it can get good, we didn't get it like that, 3 times.steve shearer wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 3:57 pmFun, rippable, challenging, occasionally hollow, flawed.
Re: Mentawai quiver.
Fark, are you for real??
We had it good 7 days out of ten and zero currents.

Re: Mentawai quiver.
yep. was the shittest wave we surfed in the ments, by a fair margin.
Re: Mentawai quiver.
Might have just had random poor 3 days of conditions.

Was spread over 2 years
Re: Mentawai quiver.
So many breaks in the ments are wind or swell affected though. I have a mate who went back to the same resort and surfed scarecrows 4 different times and all pretty decent.
