[PT-Poster perfection]

It's no coincidence that Andy and Kelly's latest cinematic offering was filmed in and around Karamajet Island, part of the Mentawai Islands chain and home to Kandui Resort situated 75 miles off the west coast of Sumatra. A Fly in the Champagne may well herald the end of an era and Andy has by all accounts thrown away his collection of Kelly voodoo dolls. But well before this titanic battle, Rifles, Bankvaults and nearly a dozen other waves were firing and they'll continue to after we're all too old to surf. The Mentawai Islands are one of the most consistent surf destinations in the world. Roaring 40s swells detach themselves from their southern hemisphere conveyor belt and sweep up the southern Indian Ocean providing this island chain with remarkably consistent surf. Peak period is the dry season, from March until November, the southern hemisphere's winter when the convey belt of storm is in hyperactive mode.

	yes i agree with guy above - then makes sense to search out your own rifles and then the 1 week overland missioning won't be in vain. Tried it last year, bought some nautical charts for a remote area in the tropics, flew in, overlanded 2 days, 2 dodgy boats later landed up on 'the' island where i thought might be a wave...no swell...went back 2 times later...still no sign of life...then when all was about to be lost after a month of missioning went back one last time and the season changed, wind blew non-stop onshore, and with it a consistent hefty onshore groundswell...local dug out hired to motor around the islands to find a protected corner...and it was well worth it :::))) new found paradise offshore all day everyday. get off your asses , get off the internet (except for weather forcasts and buying natutical charts) and get out there and find your own spots, stop winging, nuff said.

	What?

	Martin1979256 days ago	Reply
	This also takes naming spots to a new level!

	Nice advert, doesn't tell you about the resort policy of towing into head high waves within a few metres of other surfers in the lineup.

	Also doesn't mention that if you paddle out at any of the spots with the 'professionals and their video cameras' they'll basically tell you not to bother as you won't get any waves. a great thing when you've spent 1 week going overland carrying your water and food while they get flown out and speed-boated right to the island to hog the surf.
