LowPressure Stormrider Surf Guide says:

In a very short period of time, this wild and remote chain of islands, lying about 90k’s (55mi) off the Sumatran mainland, have become the most sought after destination for surfers looking to ride “the best waves in the world”. This bold claim is rarely disputed, as those who score a solid SW swell will testify and few return from the Mentawais disappointed with the wave quality and quantity. The key to this rapid ascension to the pinnacle of world surfing lies in the sheer concentration of truly world-class breaks and an unmatched flexibility when it comes to handling different swell and wind combinations. Being a degree or three below the equator helps massively, as the light, flukey winds provide a variety of directions unseen in other parts of Indonesia and it often transpires that proper glassy conditions bookend the day. Furthermore, the geomorphology of this seismically active region seems to cause unusual swell refraction and diffraction, creating unexpected waves round the back of islands and islets where none should normally exist. These coral encrusted lava reefs fringe a still relatively untouched rainforest and many of the tribal inhabitants of the remoter regions still cling to a traditional subsistence lifestyle, maintaining little contact with the outside world. Progress is unavoidable though and whereas 15 years ago, yacht charters were the only way to go, now a half dozen land camps have been established at the banner waves and many more are planned. This has led to Silabu Village installing 2 buoys in Pasongan harbour next to Macaronis, requiring boats to book in a week before arrival and pay a $30 mooring fee plus the $1.50 per head surfer fee, which are used for community projects. This limits the numbers to around 36 maximum, shared evenly between the resort and charters and stops anchor damage in the bay. This precedent may expand across the region if resorts can obtain the various government licenses. Threats to revoke charter licenses for boats not registered in Indonesia have been rumoured and would drastically reduce surf fleet numbers if implemented.

The hulking mass of Siberut presents a primal vista, with the hardwood forest shrouded in mist and it exudes an air of power and mystery, emanating from the mountainous interior. This largest island in the Mentawai chain has only been lightly surfed by long-range charter crews grabbing an opportunistic wave on the way to the Nias area. That means spots on the backside are more often seen from the northern tip at Tanjung Sigep, down to the impossibly sheltered Teluk Tabekat and out to the headland at Sikabaluan, but most will pass by like ships in the night. A good deal of the SW-facing coast is straight line reefs, exposed and messed up by wind and swell, but a few obvious jinks in the coast could produce a left or two at Tanjungs Sakaladat, Sataerataera and Simasuket. Many captains will have a few spots sussed for certain conditions and there are some mellow breaks in the playgrounds area that get ridden like Taileleo, a fun mal slide facing south, Pearlers peak nestled behind Masokut and a righthander round the backside near the Muara harbour. It is important to recognise that while there are 40-60 named breaks, many more are out there, being surfed by experienced captains who know the deal.

Waves

World Class Surf

Between April and October the Mentawai Islands are considered to be one of the most consistent surfing destinations on the planet.

While a few massive swells of ten foot plus hit the islands each season the truth is that the waves are more likely to be in the three to six foot range.

We surf the waves between Scarecrows through to the north side of Awera Island. There are over 15 high quality waves in this region including the world class Telescopes, Iceland and Scarecrows. All of these waves are reached in less than 30 minutes by boat from the lodge. This region is quieter than many of the others in Mentawai; we still get to surf many waves alone.

Our guide is the longest serving in our region; he has the equivalent of over 50 boat trip spent guiding entirely in this area. His understanding of tides, swell direction, size and wind specifically in our area will give you the best chance of scoring the waves you are after.

There are many other waves that work on different tides, wind and swell directions but we try not to publicise them too much, this is one of the reasons we are able to get our guests surf alone as much as we do.

Some of the waves we surf

Telescopes

This wave needs no introduction. It is regularly voted as one of the best waves in the world. A flat bottom creates a relatively safe wave. It is superfun at 2 foot and it just gets better and straighter the bigger it gets.

Scarecrows

Another left with long workable walls and an inside section that throws out a perfect barrel on its day. It is usually a little bigger than Telescopes but also a little more exposed to local wind swells.

Tikus

It needs a bit of swell to work but when it is on it offers small barrels and a fast rampy end section. Probably one of the funnest waves around

Icelands

This swell magnet turns from a short fun wave offering both lefts and rights at 2 to 3 foot to one of the heaviest and most photogenic waves in the Mentawai Islands when it gets bigger.

Ombak tidur

Again like Iceland it can be surfed small but turns into a completely different wave when its bigger. This is the most consistent right in the region and has multiple take off spots and sections to keep the rare crowds spread out.

Out the Front

This the end section of a long reef that runs about 500m in towards the camp.

Awera Island - The Perfect Spot

Small, comfortable and affordable.

Awera Island is an unspoilt, tropical island located in the middle of the most wave rich region on the planet. It is surrounded by white sand beaches, coral reefs and of course world class waves.

Our lodge lies on this island and is located within 30 minutes longboat ride of over 15 world class waves.

It's our goal at Awera to get you surfing these waves whenever possible alone, and with a maximum of 6 guests we offer an unmatched opportunity to surf these waves with the fewest possible people.

The Awera lodge is one large house with 3 guest bedrooms. Our guests sleep 2 per room with spring mattresses, mosquito nets and fans.

Our comfortable lounge area includes a daybed, iPod dock and a 32' LCD TV to watch DVD's or go through the days photos. There are also plenty of hammocks and other comfortable spots to sit, relax and read a book.

Was dich erwartet

Quartier ist super gemütlich und liegt direkt am Wasser

Dieses kleine, komfortable und äuβerst günstige Camp ist umgeben von weisen Sandstränden, kristallklarem Wasser und weltklasse Wellen, und bietet dir die einmalige Möglichkeit die verschiedenen Surf Spots dieser Region mit einer minimalen Anzahl an Leuten im Wasser zu surfen.

Dein Quartier ist super gemütlich und liegt direkt am Wasser. Mahlzeiten und Getränke sind im Preis inbegriffen und kommen wann immer möglich aus der Region. Um deinen Aufenthalt noch angenehmer zu machen, wird allerdings auch der feinste Kaffee aus Sumatra von außerhalb zugekauft.

Unvergleichbare Qualität der Wellen dort und die Konstanz von Swell gepaart

Die Mentawai Inselns sind weltbekannt für die unvergleichbare Qualität der Wellen dort und die Konstanz von Swell gepaart mit extrem günstigen Bedingungen. Die Vielfalt der Wellen ist wahrlich einmalig, es gibt Wellen für absolut jede Könnensstufe. In nur 30 Minuten sind mit dem Boot 15 Wellen von höchster Qualität zu erreichen, einige davon sind zweifelsfrei weltklasse. Da es in dieser Region viel weniger Surf Camps gibt als zum Beispiel in der Playgrounds Region, sind in der Regel wesentlich weniger Leute im Wasser. Surfe die Tube deines Lebens an einer weltklasse Left namens Telescopes oder genieße ein paar gute Turns in Scarecrows – es gibt hier Wellen für jede Könnensstufe und für alle Bedingungen.

Dies ist ein extrem günstiges Surf Camp in einer der wellenreichsten Regionen der Welt. Genieße alles was diese einzigartige Region zu bieten hat mit nur maximal 6 Gästen auf der Insel und all den Wellen dort zur freien Auswahl!

3 Gründe sich für das Awera Island Surf Camp zu entscheiden:

Wahrscheinlich das preisgünstigste professionell organisierte Surf Camp in den wellenreichen Mentawai Inseln!
Über 15 weltklasse Wellen in nur 30 Minuten mit dem Boot zu erreichen.
Eine ruhigere Region als Playgrounds mit nur wenigen Surf Camps in der näheren Umgebung.

In the rare times that the surf goes completely flat there are a few other things to do at Awera, here is a list of some of the more popular options.

Spearfishing

Experienced spearfishers will not be bored with the area around Awera. From the reef edges off Icelands out to the islands of "Batu Tonga", otherwise known as Jurassic Park there are many G.T's, Tuna and SpanishMakerel.

Fishing

Whether you are trawling along the edge of the reefs for big pelagics or searching the shallows for the worlds' most sought after fly species, the bonefish Awera has plenty of options. Although we have some basic equipment out on the islands if you are a serious angler we recommend you bring your own gear.

Snorkeling

On small surf days the reef right out the front has some of the most beautiful corals in the region, there are also a few large rock bommies around the island that offer some interesting walls. Just like fishing gear we have a bit of snorkeling equiptment but encourage guests to bring their own.

Other things

We also have a range of board games, books and a small TV if you want to watch a DVD or a video of the days surfing or maybe just take a bit of time out and explore Awera's white sand beaches.

Included in the price are 3 nutritious and tasty meals per day. Drinking water, tea and coffee are also included. Most of our ingredients are sourced locally however we search out a few things like the best Sumatran coffee to make your stay more enjoyable.

What is included?

11 nights accommodation
3 meals/day
Tea, coffee and drinking water
Twin share accommodation
2 daily guided boat transfers to the local waves
Airport pick up and all transfers to Awera

What is not included?

Beer and soft drinks
Laundry service
Internet
Day trips beyond the Awera area

Getting to Padang

Guests are responsible for their own arrangements to and from Padang.

Currently the best way to make it to Padang is either via Jakarta (and Bali) with Garuda or Lion Air or through Kuala Lumpur with Air Asia.

From Padang to Awera

All transfers include airport pick up, drop off and everything in between.

There are many ways to get from Padang to Awera; these include ferries both old and new, a plane and several fast speed boats. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Ambu Ambu ferry

Taking into consideration safety, comfort, reliability and price we believe the best way to get to Awera is with the Ambu Ambu ferry. Travel is generally in AC cabins, if on the rare occasion these are unavailable we will use the A/C VIP section and the cabin cost will be refunded. The boat travels overnight so you will not lose any time out in the water and arrive refreshed and ready to hit the surf. Please book early to ensure you get a cabin.

If taking the Ambu Ambu ferry we recommend you arrive in Padang before 4pm on the day you depart in order to make the ferry that night. And depart Padang after 10am the morning you arrive back in Padang from the islands.

The ferry leaves a harbour south of Padang at 8pm every Sunday night.In order to make the most seamless transfers guests should aim to arrive in Padang before 4pm on a Sunday.The ferry arrives back at the harbour at around 7am on Tuesday mornings.

***The Ambu Ambu ferry docks for 1 month/year, currently around October, however as with most things in Indonesia this can change without notice. During this time we will use the plane or the other ferries for transfers, please ask for an alternative ferry/plane timetable.

Plane

There is also a plane flying to the Mentawai Islands twice weekly, currently Mondays mornings and Thursday afternoons. This is the most convenient way to get to Awera but it can be unreliable as the schedules can change.

Fast Boats

There are a number of speedboats that can be chartered to do these transfers; they take between 3 and 5 hours for the crossing. There are also a couple of boats that do services for other resorts that we can send you out on.

Example Itinery

Arrive Padang before 1600
Transfer to Hotel to relax by private car
Depart Hotel for the harbour 1700
Ambu Ambu ferry departs 2000
Arrive Tua Pejet 0700 Monday
Transfer via speedboat to Awera Island 0730 Monday
Surf for 8 days
Depart Awera Island 1800 Monday
Depart Tua Pejet 2000 Monday
Arrive at the harbour 0700 Tuesday
Arrive Padang for departure after 1000

The website constitutes the fundamental information that LUEX provides to Travellers. The offers, representations, data, software, images, illustrations and information are subject to copyright in virtually their entirety. To the extent that the design, photos, selection and manner of composition and preparation have been prepared by LUEX, the rights are held exclusively by LUEX. Large quantities of information, offers and images are delivered by third parties, in particular also by Service providers. This content is also legally protected by copyright, trademark and competition law and may not be copied, transmitted or used in any manner other than within the scope of the website without the prior express written authorisation of LUEX or the rights holder, if applicable.

LUEX shall make every effort to update information and prices at all times. Nevertheless, there may be differences due to the volume of data, information and parameters. Prices and specifications can be found based on the individually prepared offering. The booking confirmation and the price calculated for the Traveller are definitive.

LUEX is unable to monitor or check all information provided, especially links to other websites. LUEX is unable to maintain and update this content. In this respect, LUEX is unable to assume any responsibility.

3. Intermediary services

LUEX facilitates the provision of travel-related products and services by Service providers in the form of travel modules and services. LUEX is not a tour operator and does not deliver, own or control any of the travel-related products and services on offer. The travel-related products and services are delivered directly by the Service provider. The offerings provided by LUEX are intended for natural persons. In this context, the Traveller / Group leader making the booking must be at least 18 years of age. A Group leader aged 18 years or over must book for under-age travel companions. The offerings are primarily intended for Travellers from Germany. In utilising this offering, the Group leader making the booking promises that they are authorised to act on behalf of their travel companions, in particular to arrange travel-related services and to conclude contractual arrangements in the name of the Travellers. The Group leader is liable to LUEX as the joint and several debtor in addition to the individual Travellers for the payment of the travel-related products and services booked. Legally binding declarations received by the Group leader are deemed to have been received by all Travellers in the tour group.

4. Bookings

To the extent that no further commitment periods have been agreed, the following shall apply: By filling in the booking templates and confirming the booking procedure, the Traveller/Group leader commissions LUEX to finalise the intermediated procurement with the Service provider. A confirmation of receipt from LUEX with respect to an order immediately after the Traveller/Group leader has transmitted the data does not constitute a binding confirmation of the intermediated travel-related products and services.

Immediately upon receipt of the booking, LUEX shall assess the availability of all the booked products and services from the Service provider/s. Following this assessment, the Traveller/Group leader shall be issued a booking confirmation. The Traveller/Group leader is obliged to check this confirmation carefully immediately upon receipt. If information appearing on the confirmation or in another document is incorrect or incomplete, the Traveller/Group leader is obliged to inform LUEX immediately - in text form if possible. Alterations at a later point in time can only be considered if LUEX could reasonably be expected to make such changes. Unreasonable alterations are such changes in particular that involve additional costs for LUEX, unless the Traveller/Group leader reimburses these costs.

A binding agreement between the Traveller and the respective Service provider shall only eventuate when the binding booking confirmation has been transmitted to the Traveller/Group leader; the automatic LUEX confirmation of receipt is not a booking confirmation.

The following applies when a Group leader makes a booking for several Travellers: With their booking, the Group leader confirms that they are permitted to legally represent the group members (Travellers) and that the Group leader is permitted to make and receive declarations on behalf of the group members. If travel vouchers are dispatched, they shall be sent solely to the Group leader for the whole tour group. Payments shall be processed exclusively through the Group leader with debt discharging effect.

The contractual obligation of LUEX is limited to the proper intermediation of the booked travel-related products and services. The contractual obligations of LUEX do not include the delivery of the booked product or service.

5. Payments, cancellation charges

LUEX is entitled to demand payment of deposits and outstanding amounts in accordance with the general terms and conditions as well as the terms and conditions of payment of the Service provider of the mediated product or service. Payment shall be collected as instructed by the respective Service provider. It is possible that the method of payment accepted by the Service provider may differ from the standard modes of payment used by LUEX or in Germany generally. The details are to be found in each of the offerings respectively. To the extent that nothing to the contrary has been agreed, the following shall apply:

Following receipt of the payment request, payment of the deposit indicated on the payment request is to be made in a single payment within one week by means of the payment method indicated. The deposit shall be at least 25% of the total price of the travel-related products or services that have been booked. The outstanding amount for the travel-related products or services is to be paid no later than 30 days prior to the commencement of travel as a single payment by means of the payment method indicated without any further request for payment. In the case of tour groups, the Group leader is responsible for ensuring consistent payment processing. The total price of a tour booked at short notice (within 30 days of tour commencement) is due immediately.

If due payments are not made or not made in full and the Traveller/Group leader does not pay after a reminder with a final due date, LUEX or the Service provider are able to withdraw from the particular agreement, unless LUEX or the Service provider is already responsible for a significant flaw, failing or shortcoming at this time. If the Traveller is responsible for the cancellation, LUEX or the Service provider can demand compensation in accordance with the agreed fixed rates for compensation. If nothing else has been stipulated within the offer/travel confirmation, the fixed rate in the event of the Traveller cancelling more than 30 days prior to departure is 25% of the price of the tour. The Traveller/Group leader is entitled to provide evidence of lower costs or costs that did not eventuate, while LUEX is free to calculate and demonstrate substantially higher costs.

LUEX assumes no currency risks. In order to minimise currency risks, LUEX shall exchange the travel payments received into the target currency of the country of the respective Service provider as soon as possible after receipt of payment. In the event of major currency fluctuations, the Traveller/Group leader shall indemnify LUEX against any proven currency exchange losses. Reimbursements shall be made solely by means of bank transfers in the currency of the recipient. Bank fees and charges shall be borne by the Traveller/Group leader.

If the Traveller/Group leader pays by bank transfer, LUEX can only facilitate a smooth booking process if the Traveller/Group leader uses the designated booking ID in the purpose field of the bank transfer which is specified in the request for payment. Otherwise LUEX may not be able to assign the payment to the correct booking. A failure to do that correctly can result in the cancellation of a trip in the worst-case scenario.

If the Traveller wishes to book not as a private individual, but as a business traveller acting on instructions or as a legal representative, this must be noted already during the booking process and cannot be subsequently altered. This can have taxation consequences and should therefore be carefully considered.

The customer shall receive a payment receipt in the form of a booking confirmation from LUEX showing the total price, either paid or to be paid to the Service provider.

6. Alterations, cancellations, reimbursements

In the event that a confirmed booking is modified or cancelled, LUEX is to be contacted as quickly as possible in this matter such that a possible solution can be sought in consultation with the Traveller/Group leader. Additional costs that result for LUEX or the Service provider shall be borne by the Traveller/Group leader, whereby LUEX reserves the right to invoice a minimum fee of €50 for changes demanded solely by the Traveller.

Should there be a modification or cancellation by LUEX / the Service provider, LUEX shall also contact the Traveller/Group leader as soon as possible and seek a possible solution.

LUEX notes explicitly that as an intermediary LUEX cannot assume responsibility for the performance of the Service provider. In particular, LUEX offers individual travel-related products and services to exotic destinations. The Traveller recognises that booking and processing these products and services are more difficult and that a higher degree of flexibility is expected of these than for mass tourism.

7. Complaints and ratings

Should the Traveller be dissatisfied with an aspect of the travel-related product or service received in a particular case and wish to submit a complaint, they are to approach the Service provider or their representative directly at the location during their current stay so that this person can attempt to solve the problem. LUEX recommends notifying the Service provider in text form that documents the shortcomings, if possible with the aid of photos.

If the problem cannot be resolved during the stay, the Service provider must be contacted within 30 days of returning from the trip. The Service provider should then respond to the correspondence according to the applicable laws and regulations. Receipt should be confirmed in 14 days and a full response received within 28 days. If this is not the case, an explanation for the delay should be received from the Service provider.

Should the travel-related product or service not match the description on the LUEX platform, the customer must approach the Service provider or their representative directly at the location during the customer's stay. LUEX shall support customers with respect to their complaint. LUEX is to be informed of the facts involved in the situation as soon as possible in order to be able to assist in finding a solution.

The Service provider is to be contacted immediately in the event of flight or transportation problems. Customers are to check information and the general terms and conditions given to customers via the Service provider before the commencement of travel.

8. Visa, passport and travel regulations

The Traveller/Group leader shall pay attention to the special visa, passport and travel regulations for the Travellers and their country of destination. LUEX makes every effort to inform customers as comprehensively and accurately as possible. To the extent that LUEX draws attention to particular details, this can only be considered as non-binding information. Considering the high number and frequency of possible amendments to regulations, Travellers/Group leaders are requested to contact the relevant embassy/consulate for the particular destination. In this respect LUEX can assume no responsibility whatsoever for any assurance, guarantee, currency or accuracy of the information. The information provided by Travellers’ ministries of foreign affairs are a reliable source with respect to many travel destinations.

It is the sole responsibility of the Traveller/Group leader to ensure that all Travellers are in possession of all requisite travel documents (passport, Visa, etc.) at the commencement of travel and that all Travellers fulfil the health requirements.

9. Insurance

To the extent that it is not expressly offered, insurance cover does not constitute part of the travel-related products and services offered. LUEX recommends that customers take out travel insurance, in particular travel cancellation cost insurance and in certain circumstances overseas travel insurance, including an overseas health cover component. LUEX names a reliable partner offering the relevant insurance policies to its customers at: http://www.luex.com/info/insurances.html.

10. Liability, responsibility

LUEX depends on the information provided to it by the Service providers with respect to the details of the travel-related goods and services. LUEX has only extremely limited opportunities to check such information with respect to their accuracy and completeness. Consequently, LUEX is unable to provide any guarantees or assurances with respect to the completeness, accuracy or currency of such information. The same applies for any other information made available by third parties.

LUEX is not liable for the availability of the travel-related product or service at the time of booking or for the performance of the booked travel-related product or service by the Service provider.

Within the scope of its performance obligations, LUEX is only liable for any losses that may result in the following cases, irrespective of legal grounds: The statutory regulations shall apply with the following restriction: Liability or minor negligence on the part of LUEX or its vicarious agents is excluded, provided that neither an essential contractual obligation was breached nor is there a case of initial incapacity, impossibility or default on the part of LUEX. Otherwise liability is limited to the value of the travel-related products and services booked, in any case however to predictable and typical losses. The exclusions of liability or facilitation shall apply in the same manner to the executive bodies of LUEX, as well as to their vicarious agents.

Travellers and Group leaders shall be liable to LUEX for each and every reservation/booking that is made in bad faith or with deceitful intent or with erroneous or incomplete personal data. The opportunity to book travel-related goods and services may only be utilised in order to make legal bookings as a Traveller or as a Group leader for a third party. At the same time, in utilising the offerings the Group leader guarantees that they are authorised and are permitted to act in the name of fellow travellers. In the event that there is a breach of these guarantee, the Group leader is liable without limitation to LUEX and their respective Service providers for the losses resulting from the aforesaid person’s actions.

In many countries there are safety standards that differ from those generally found in Europe, Australia or the USA. Travelers/Group leaders are strongly encouraged, also in their own interest, to access information once again immediately before commencing travel in accessible sources, such as the internet pages of the Foreign Office, with respect to changes in the travel regulations and safety warnings for the country of destination.

11. Final provisions

Should business terms and conditions or parts of the agreement be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining parts of the agreements shall not be affected.

Amendments or additions to all agreements, including a divergence from these general terms and conditions, are only possible in text form (written, by fax or e-mail). Oral agreements require written confirmation to be valid.

All communication between LUEX and a Traveller/Group leader is to be undertaken by e-mail if possible. The Traveller/Group leader therefore promises to receive and read e-mails and implement the information/instructions from LUEX accordingly. LUEX must be informed immediately of changes in contact details.

All contractual relations between LUEX, its customers and Service providers are subject exclusively to German law - with the exception of the UN Contract for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) convention. Köln shall be the mutually agreed place of jurisdiction for non-German Travellers.

They aren't travel agents with a surf related website, but actual surfers that are experienced in both surfing and the places that they offer travel too.

Some of the other agents which brag as being leaders in this field are far from it.

The best by far. Their actual surfers and not just travel agents that have stood up on a foamy once upon a time.
Having tried every other agent acting in the Maldives and the surfing industry. I have finally found one that actually gets it. They aren't travel agents with a surf related website, but actual surfers that are experienced in both surfing and the places that they offer travel too. Some of the other agents which brag as being leaders in this field are far from it. There has always been some headache such as overbooking, inferior boats, or just general misinformation. These guys get it, finally.

He was so helpful answering a million questions over weeks leading up to departure and his suggestions about different boats, itineraries, location and the benefits of a surf guide did not seek to overstate the good things or gloss over the less desirable factors.

Wanted to say a huge thank you to Ignacio and the team for helping us put together a fantastic Maldives surf trip! He was so helpful answering a million questions over weeks leading up to departure and his suggestions about different boats, itineraries, location and the benefits of a surf guide did not seek to overstate the good things or gloss over the less desirable factors. They were really constructive, pragmatic and importantly, accurate! Our group of 7 just surfers left Male very very happy men and we already planning our next trip to the Maldives. Have and will continue to recommend LUEX and Ignacio in particular, thank you again for such a great job!! Much appreciated - Adrian from Western Australia.

We booked Sea Farer for a 10 night stay in the Maldives through Ignacio and had an amazing time!
Ignacio was brilliant to deal with - answered all our questions, gave some excellent advice and recommendations which really changed our trip. The Sea Farer is the perfect boat - so much space, the crew were excellent and the food was delicious. We were a group of 8 intermediate Aussie surfer girls and this was just the perfect trip for us. It was a once in a lifetime experience and we're grateful that it all worked out so well! Highly recommend this boat, this company and Ignacio. We still can't wipe the smile from our faces :)

The two bookings I made was for surfing Maldives. Its not easy to find out how the waves are in the Maldives and which resort is best for your needs and have the best swells at certain times. Martin and his team have visit all the places they recommend many times, so they definitely know how it is on site and what to look for. This makes a huge different to many other agency's out there who just recommend stuff on average ratings or best commission fee.
price:
they can match up any price you'll find in the internet, so you won't pay extra for the service even though you should. So why not take advantage of the great service they offer.
Service:
Quick response rate (usually same day), really nice guys and no matter what issues you have, they can support you and take care of you. Sometimes they can work out even better deals than you find on the internet.
I will defiantly come back here next year for more surf trips and also big mountain skiing
See you in the water :)

Honestly, it was the best surf trip that our family has ever had. Still glowing in the aftermath of our 2 magical months spent surfing in Indo.
We will definitely book again with LUEX for our next surf trip to the Maldives or Indo.
I highly recommend Ignacio as your trip planner.

Thanks so much to Tim and the entire LUEX crew to seriously go above and beyond to make my trip to the Maldives all that more special. Your prompt communication, attention to detail AND patience was much appreciated. I always wanted to go surf in the Maldives, but I had no idea A, where to go, and B, where to stay. Tim was kind enough to exchange probably close to 30 emails, taking the time to discuss every single option that was available that matched my budget and preferences. I honestly never had a better customer experience and thought I was in good hands throughout the booking process. Everything lined up perfectly, and I had ten unforgettable days in paradise, surrounded by good people and pumping waves. Again, thanks so much for all your efforts. I'm already planning my next trip and you, Tim, are the first person I will contact.
