LowPressure’s Stormrider Surf Guide says
Northern Mentawai Islands, Indonesia, EAST ASIA
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.

Batu Islands, Indonesia, EAST ASIA
Often referred to as the Telos, the 51 Batu Islands have dodged the bulk of the Nias and Mentawai crowds for much the same reason as the Banyaks. There are fewer big name spots and the best set-ups often require stronger swells, usually from the rarer W direction. However, consistent, year-round, headhigh surf can always be found with plenty of fun, easier line-ups that cater to most tastes and abilities. A few surf camps have opened, but for independent travellers, this place is a mission without a boat to get around and it has a reputation for malaria and other diseases. There are flights from Medan and Padang to the small strip at Lasondre on Tanahmasa, plus ferries from Nias, but most of the waves are found on the smaller islands to the NW. Check around and in between the larger islands of Telo, Sipika and the more exposed reefs of Pulau Sigata. Like the Mentawais, refraction brings swell in at unusual angles so don’t discount either end of Pulau Pini during big pulses. Down south on Tanahbala, there are some less frequented breaks with longer travelling times between them especially if going all the way to Bojo. The camps all have their own names for the spots, so it depends on who you travel with, but there is no doubt this group holds some excellent waves and since the equator runs through here, winds are rarely a problem with plenty of glass and a spot for all wind/swell combos.

Condition Description provided by the operator
The quality and consistency of the waves in the Mentawais Islands is well known and even though there are several charter boats operating in the area there is still PLENTY of waves to be had. The peak surf period is from March to November and this part of Indo is super consistent during this time but there is also plenty of great, empty waves in the non-peak months of December, January and February.
The best thing to do if you want to check out the waves you will be surfing is to browse through our Photo Gallery which shows some of the waves scored by TENGIRRI guests since we started charters in 2005.

Intro
TENGIRRI is a 14 metre (46 foot), live aboard, power catamaran designed and built in Australia in 2004 specifically for luxury surf charters to the Mentawai Islands and beyond. Tengirri started operating in Sumatra during April 2005 and since then has delivered surfers from all works of life to some of the waves of there lives in the Mentawai Islands and beyond. A surf trip on TENGIRRI also includes:
- Enjoy extended periods of perfect Indo surf onboard a luxury, air-conditioned boat.
- Top fishing and snorkelling!
- Fabulous food!
- Experienced skipper and crew will get you to the best, most uncrowded waves available under the given swell and weather conditions.
- To maximise surf time TENGIRRI aims to travel at night at a comfortable speed of 10 knots and have you on the waves on daylight. If the conditions change during the day we can travel at 15-17 knots to a better location.
- Surf anywhere you want in the Mentawais & Telos regions!
- Small groups (maximum of 8 onboard Tengirri)!
- Book the whole boat for you and your mates or just book one or a few spots – either is ok.
TENGIRRI is one of the strongest, safest, and fastest vessels operating surf charters in Indonesia today. From our base in Padang we will have you surfing the morning after you arrive in Padang. To maximise surf time we try to do most of our travelling at night…but if conditions do change during the day we are able to quickly relocate you to a different spot.
Our captain’s and guide’s experience in the area is second to none, and using this experience we can virtually guarantee you waves every day. Even when you aren’t surfing or fishing you will be relaxing in style and making the most of the boat’s luxurious facilities.
Come and join us for the ultimate in surf holidays!!

Fishing
TENGIRRI is specifically designed for surf charters. However, we are also very keen fishermen and this area has suberb fishing opportunities.
We have a large selection of fishing equipment and lures onboard but you can also bring your own gear.
Some of the fish we regularly encounter are Pelagics of many species (eg-mackerel, yellowfin, wahoo, dolphin fish, swordfish, giant trevally, sailfish etc.) as well as cod, coral trout, sweet lip, perch and red bass.
If you catch some fish they can be cooked up by our chef and served for dinner that night… you don’t get much fresher than that!!
This area has beatiful, clear, warm water so going for a swim or a snorkel is also a very relaxing way to fill in your time between surfs.
This is one of our most common questions so we decided to put all the information on one page. If you have any questions on specific dietary requirements please contact us.
- Fresh fruit such as bananas, watermelon, mandarins, apples or papaya is available for you to help yourself at all times on the TENGIRRI.
- On TENGIRRI tea, coffee, soft-drink (coke, sprite etc.), fruit juice and water is included in the TENGIRRI package price and is available for you to help yourself to at all times. 20 cartons of Bintang Beer is included in the package price. Spirits and other alcohol is available at local prices.
- For a quick light breakfast before an early surf cereal (cornflakes, oats etc) and toast (with jam, vegemite, honey etc.) are there for you to help yourself.
- Later in the morning the cook will prepare a “hot” breakfast (or “brunch” depending on how long you want to stay in the water for the early surf). This is usually something like pancakes, omelettes or jaffles and you eat as much as you want in order to have enough energy for the rest of the day.
- Lunch is also usually something that provides you with lots of energy but not filling you up so much you can’t surf in the afternoon. Typical lunches include fresh ham salad sandwiches, noodles, tacos, jaffles etc.
- Dinner is the main meal of the day. If any fish is caught during the day this is prepared and served for dinner.
- If you don’t catch any fish or don’t like seafood there is no need to worry as the crew sets out with enough food to prepare different dinners for each night of the charter so you don’t get sick of eating the same thing again and again.
- Typical dinners include spaghetti, BBQ chicken, curry beef, lasagna, burritos and stir fried veggies.
- Dinners are accompanied by vegetables, rice and fresh salad.
- Onboard TENGIRRI there is also a variety of snacks such as chips, chocolate bars and lollies for you to munch on throughout the charter – these are included in TENGIRRI package price.
- We realise when surfing all day that diet is very important. So we provide a variety of good, healthy food for you to eat. Some other charters serve nothing but rice and noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner so if you are thinking of booking with someone else find out what you will be eating first.
- Meals are mostly “all-you-can-eat” and there are usually plenty of leftovers.
- There are no set meal times so when you eat depends on what the surf is doing. So don’t think if you stay out surfing from 10 am to 3pm that you will miss lunch!
WE TAKE CLEANLINESS AND HYGIENE VERY SERIOUSLY AND ENSURE THAT OUR KITCHEN AND UTENSILS ARE ALWAYS KEPT CLEAN.
- Met on arrival at Padang airport and then, depending on flight arrival time, either taken directly to the harbour to board TENGIRRI or to a transit hotel to relax until TENGIRRI is ready to depart. Note that costs incurred at the transit hotel are not included in package price. You must plan your flights to arrive at Padang airport no later then 1pm on the day of departure. Tengirri departure time from harbour is generally late afternoon and you will be in the surf during the morning on the day after you arrive in Padang.
- 12 nights spent in air-conditioned accommodation onboard TENGIRRI travelling and surfing some of the various islands in the Mentawais & Telos regions.
- After the 11th FULL day on TENGIRRI we will head back to Padang during the night, arriving in time to catch your flight home on the last day.
- All meals, snacks, water, soft drinks, coffee, tea and 20 cartons of Bintang per charter is included in the price (extra beer and other alcohol is available at local prices, please notify us before you arrive).
- Use of all equipment and facilities onboard TENGIRRI including dinghy to get you in and out of the line up or to shoot photos from, fishing and snorkelling equipment, DVD player with a huge selection of movies, CD player, magazines, books.
- We also have an onboard photo/video service. We have a high quality SLR digital camera, Canon EOS 40D with zoom lenses, to capture all those epic waves, trophy fish, smiles, and good times. Our guide and crew will shoot the photos then you can watch the slideshow that night. We also have a High Definition digital video camera on board. If you bring a USB flash drive we will give you a copy of your photos and a short, professionally edited movie of you surfing – the ultimate trip souvenir. The TENGIRRI video/photo service is FREE of charge and included in the price of the trip.
- We also contribute to and work with Surf Aid International (a non-profit organization working to improve the health of people living on the Sumatran islands). Promotional packages with info about what you can do to help are available upon request.
- Phone calls can be made from the boat at a cost of $US5/minute (incoming calls are free). Email is not available.
- This package also includes the expert knowledge of an experienced Australian skipper and an experienced Australian guide who have been living and surfing in this part of Indo for several years!

The website constitutes the fundamental information that LUEX provides to Travellers.

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.

Your persönlicher Experte für diese Reise
Nacho, unser argentinischer Surf-Experte bei LUEX, hat Swells in ganz Lateinamerika, Indonesien, Fidschi und den Malediven gejagt. Sein Business-Background hilft – aber sein Herz schlägt fürs Surfen. Wenn er nicht gerade Traumtrips für unsere Kunden plant, flitzt er voll Koffein durch’s Office. Seine Lieblingswellen? Ganz klar in den Mentawais – dort hat er seine Definition von Perfektion gefunden. Bei LUEX bringt er seine Erfahrung ein, um anderen zu helfen, epische Wellen zu scoren.
