Mentawai Surf Retreat

Located on Nyang Nyang island, in the pristine northern Mentawai Islands, this amazing tropical island get-away is designed to cater for all your needs, in and out of the water.

The retreat consists of a spacious beach front lounge restaurant/bar combined with luxurious and private hillside bungalows, with a maximum capacity of 6-10 guests. For surfers, the idyllic set-up of world class waves in every direction including directly off the beach out front, means an abundance of choice for waves to suit all levels of surfing.

LOCAL BREAK

Right out front is Pitstops, a really fun right-hander that breaks off a reef and runs onto sand. The wave offers a fast and hollow tubing take-off, followed by a great rippable wall. This is a great wave for speed, barrels and aerials. Pitstops works on all tides and in small conditions; it is one of the most consistent breaks in the area.

Just around the point is E-Bay, a dreamy, hollow left-hander that breaks best between waist high to double or even triple overhead. E-Bay is often compared to Padang Padang in Bali, but has a gnarly end section known as “Greedys” which adds to the challenge. The main tube section is located straight out from two large boulders which adds to the intimidating factor of the wave. The bigger it gets the hollower it gets and the heavier it gets.

Other near-by waves include: Bank Vaults, Nipussi, Beng Beng, Rifles, Burger World, 4-Bobs, A-Frames, Nokandui, as well as a number of secret spots.
