Warning-Mentawai for surf boat charters
From July 15th 2008 the Mentawai goverment will be enforcing laws relating to commercial surf charter boat operators.

At present there is a very high percentage of surf charter operators, whom do not hold correct Licences to operate surf charter services whitin the Mentawai Islands.

If these boats are found operating from 15th July 2008 onwards, these boats may be dealt with legally how the Mentawai goverment see's fit, which may include being sent straight back to Padang.

For the Suf charter guest this may mean there surf trip cut short.

It is highly recommend if you are booked or plan to book a surf charter boat trip to the Mentawai Islands after 15th July 2008 that you do your research, and ensure you surf charter boat of choice has the licences needed to operate within the Mentawai Island area.

Thank you.

I stayed at wavepark soon after it opened. Camp manager Christie is a good egg and rips in the water. He will get you to the best waves on offer for any given day.
Careful surfing ebay though! I got compressed in a tube out there and didn't walk right for 6 months due to knee ligament damage.
