Surfing Mentawai Trap

330


ok, some idiot teenager who was working at a Teddy’s Burger in Hawaii decided to grill a rat and post it on social media. now i’m not sure if i can ever eat their juicy burgers anymore… Bakatare!

i want to thank the super pop stars like Jennifer Lopez for setting a great example for the young girls. are you kidding me??? Bakatare!

i was once invited on a surf trip to a very secluded chain of islands located South of India. heard the waves were good, but also heard the tribes there shoot at helicopters and outsiders. and also heard they eat humans. that was 20 years ago and i never regretted not going there. so when heard the news today about his one American that went to explore there and got killed by bow and arrows, i wasn’t surprised at all. these places still do exist, and these places should be left just the way it is. and no, i’m not ever going there so don’t worry…

an ad just came out for this new resort. it read “Max of nine guest, so no hassling those in your own camp.” after i looked better and found out it was in the Mentawai’s, i thought this ad was very misleading. your camp might only have nine people but the lineup right in front will have 50 people. yes, the last time i went to HT’s 5 years ago, there were 50 surfers in the lineup fighting for chest high waves. included were Europeans, Hawaiians, Brazilians, and pro surfers like Jamie O’Brien. it was at that moment i told myself “i’m never ever coming back here!” so to all you non-experienced travelers, don’t be fooled by misleading advertisements like this. to spend $4,000 and travel half way around the world to fight for a wave isn’t what surf trips are about. just though i’d save you some money and disappointment…
