G'day again from the Mentawai Islands.
Bad weather has had us trapped for the past two days, so today's first surf back saw froth levels sky rocketing. A tasteful righhander, named Bintangs, was our saviour. Why Bintangs? Because nothing beats pouring a cold can of pilsner through the hole in your beard after a great day surfing here.
I'd never had the chance to surf this place before. Wow, I'm glad I have now. A super playful ride that throws a lip every wave – it's almost impossible not to find some shade out there. The boys and I were still frothing when imagine who floats into the line up? Another boat with another bunch of local crew from back home. Mark Maguire and his son Jake had already scored a couple of super fun sessions at Rifles, Pussys and Bintangs. Mark though, still claims Bronte Reef's his favourite wave on earth. Mark?
And, of course, we finished our great day surfing with the boys by dutifully draining a few Bintangs on sunset, reminding me that absolutely nothing beats an Indo boat trip with your best mates. See you for one more Mentawais update later in the week, thanks to TC Communications. Yew – Brad
