good morning. been getting a lot of emails and comments about the mentawai’s. first of all, the waves aren’t good everyday. the last 2 years, we actually scored and i mean scored. last year we surfed it i heard was the best day of 2009 and this year in 2010, i can’t imagine the waves getting any better. so don’t book a trip to the mentawai’s and expect to score. you have to go there on the right swell direction, right wind direction, and right tide. and guess what? i know exactly when to pull up there because i kept the swell charts from last year and this year.
after the good swell, we were boating around surfing other spots talking to other surfers about the big day. some guys were really bummed when i told them how good it was. one aussie guy didn’t believe me and told his mates that there was no way it was that big. well aussie, i couldn’t care less if you believe me or not. we know what we got and that’s all that matters.
anyway, check out the past 2 years we scored. and keep in mind that we were surfing when it was epic. so the video i took was when the waves were good, but not as good as when we were out there.
2009 FIRST SWELL….
2010 FIRST SWELL…
2011? WE SHALL SEE….
