A Surfing Adventure in the Mentawai Islands
Good read for those who like surf travel stories with some depth or are curious about surf charters or the Mentawais or want to re-live their own surf charter trip...
ebook available on Amazon around at $3.58 aud. Can be read on a Kindle or a Kindle app on a PC.
A couple of reviews;
"I really enjoyed the book. Great to be in the surf again, even just in my imagination.
Brings back great memories of mentawais .... so far away"
"Loved this book! Having been surfing around the Mentawai Islands myself I found this “diary” echoed my own surf boat trip! I could relate to the travellers on board, the skipper and crew, the islands, the surf, the camaraderie, the late arvo post surf beer, coral cuts, sun burn, colour & beauty of the islands and their inhabitants etc etc.
The depth of feeling for these islands and what it means to be lucky enough to have surfed their fabled reefs is told with great reverence by the author. His respect for this environment and its waves and the whole spirit of surfing is clear.
This book is for anyone who has been to this unique corner of the world or who is thinking about a surf trip there. But more impressive is that surfer and non surfer alike will also find it a snap shot of the spirit of travel, adventure & good times with your friends better than anything I’ve read before! "
