going feral...
for anyone interested I found this at http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?messageID=13493790�:
"...A much cheaper way to do it is get the ferry from Padang to Siberut (a Mentawai island) on your own (US$6 - $12 one way depending on which ferry you want and the level of comfort you require). From Siberut you can charter a boat to Nyang Nyang for about US$55 one way. Nyang Nyang has lots of world class waves, such as E-bay and Nepussy. It's basically a totally undeveloped jungle island with a couple of small local villages and about 5 huts on the beach for those hardcore surfers that actually go and stay there. You pay about US$6 per night to stay in one of those huts. There is no clean water or food on the island, so you have to bring everything with you from Siberut, or otherwise take a water filter and purifiers with you..."

SICKEST WAVE
WAY HEAVIER THAN IT LOOKS, PERFECT DREDGING BARREL, CORAL HEADS ON THE INSIDE WILL DESTROY YOU IF YOU STAY IN THE PIPE LONGER THAN LIKE 20 FRIKEN SECONDS. UN REAL, IF THERE IS SWELL MAKE YOUR CAPTAIN GO THERE

let's do this
You love it baby!!
Come here when no one else does, you'll get surf every day and you might even score a few days at one of these epic breaks. I bet most days will be better than your home break. Want to check out an area which isn't completely exposed? Come on my boat, name your price, place and time...

Locale...
Beng Beng, E-Bay, Pit Stops (right), Bankvaults and Nipussi (Tikis). Thats the set up on this little gem of an island. E-Bay and Bankvaults are the 2 premier waves but theres a long wait between sets at E-Bay and as suggested its pretty fickle. I reckon Hideaways is actually a heavier wave and less crowded when the swell hits

Warble
There is a heavy warble that hits as your taking off. Make the drop and don't get thrown by that first warble and chances are you'll get a mean aqua blue barrel. The wave's a lot heavier than it looks. MAKE THE DROP! The water color of this place is insane.

Broken !!
Being a regular visitor to these regions i can inform you all that this wave hasnt realy broken properly since 2001, it needs a cyclone to push up towards the maldives area to produce a west swell which will produce dreamy barrells of board breaking proportions form 2-10ft

E-Bay
A great place to get GREAT DEALS!

I bought a sick Sector 9 skateboard from them for 99 bucks!
