Surfing in the Mentawais (What’s It Actually Like)?

Surfing in the Mentawais || Ever wanted to go surf the Ments? At the start of the season, I got the opportunity to visit and surf the islands with a bunch of friends due to a last-minute dropout. We stayed at HTs Resort and surfed Lances Right every day! The waves were fun, but surprisingly tricky for a seemingly perfect wave. In addition to showing you the waves on offer, I’ve explained everything you need to know for a land-based Ments trip, from how to get there, where to stay, and estimated costs. Enjoy and fire away with any questions in the comments! Yew!

Improve Your Surfing Online:
Beginner Course - If you’re a beginner surfer, It’s vital to follow up after your first lesson, get in the water as much as possible, and continue the learning process. But if you don’t live near the ocean or can’t find the time, it’s tricky! Thankfully, my friends at House of Surf have developed an online course that takes you back over the basics (that you’ve learned in your first surf lessons) and paves the way for your next surfing steps.

Surf Fear Course - Anyone who knows me, knows firsthand that I hate big waves, and to be honest, it’s probably something that’s holding my surf progression back. Confidence is massive in surfing, and if you’re new to it, fear can stop you from progressing and surfing your dream locations. My friends over at House of Surf have developed a course to combat this fear! The course takes you through scientific theory on how to control your breathing and avoid panic in the water. While the Course might not turn you into Nathan Florence, it’s super helpful for feeling more confident in bigger surf.

Travel Essentials:
Wise Card - Spending money overseas can come with its fair share of annoying fees and complications. Luckily, someone created Wise, which means you can transfer money between currencies, send money to friends with foreign accounts and spend money without those pesky transaction fees!

World Nomads Insurance - Getting insured for traveling long-term and going surfing can be tricky. My go-to is World Nomads insurance; they make it super easy to keep extending my policy, and I have had no trouble with payouts when things have gone wrong!
