Also, just a 3 minute paddle away is the surf break, E-Bay. This literally means you can dawn patrol either for a left or right, before anyone else!

Mentawai Surf Retreat is the perfect spot to surf a variety of waves catering to a range of ability levels and style of waves you want. Whether you’re a charger searching for the wave of your life, a solo traveller, a frothing grom, on a girls only surf trip, travelling as a family, a logging long-boarder, father-son trips or of course a group of mates, Mentawai Surf Retreat caters to them all.
The huge variety of wave type in the region means that you can surf fun waves like Good Times and Burgerworld, or if you’re up for the challenge, some heavier waves at one of our BIG 5 (Kandui, Bank Vaults, Hideaways, E-Bay and Rifles).

Surf Mentawai Surf Retreat
Surfing the Mentawais needs no introduction and if you havent seen or read about this region before, it doesnt take long to fall in love after a quick google search or countless hours getting lost in all the videos on youtube/vimeo.
Directly out the front of Mentawai Surf Retreat is the amazingly consistent right hand reef break known as Pitstops. Pitstops is the closest thing to a skatepark for surfers with an easy take off into countless section for turns, aerials and of course barrels. It is a favourite with many who visit this region of the Mentawai Islands and its right on the doorstep of Mentawai Surf Retreat.

- Rifles
- Bank Vaults
- Kandui
- Hideaways
- Burgerworld
- Nipussi and many many more….
