FLY IN THE CHAMPAGNE SURF TRAILER in HD
A Fly In The Champagne, the latest surfing dvd from Irons Brothers Productions, gives us what we want - the best surfers (Kelly Slater and Andy Irons) in the best waves (Kandui Resort in the Mentawai Islands). Beyond the ripping, the movie also documents the fierce competitive rivalry between Slater (9X ASP World Champion) and Irons (3X ASP World Champion) that has brewed for the past decade.
SHAPE OF THE FUTURE - SURFTECH MOVIE
This movie was shot entirely at Kandui Resort. Watch five of the best shapers in the world and five of their best surfers experiment on their new Surftech models on the waves around the resort! Click here or the image above to watch "Shape of the Future".
5 SURFERS - 5 SHAPERS - 30 SURFBOARDS
Imagine an island loaded with a plethora of surfboards, surrounded by the world’s best waves. This was the play by play of the Surfing/Surftech trip as it happened:

Update #1: August 3, 2007
Update #2: August 7, 2007
Update #3: August 10, 2007
Update #4: August 13, 2007
Update #5: August 26, 2007

Between Heats - Visiting pros and travelers score mega-swell in Mentawaiis: Another stellar Surfline feature detailing the monstrous May swell that smashed the Mentawai Islands in 2007. The waves don't get this big very often but when they do it is truly a sight to behold!
Wave of Compassion: More Than Your Average Boat Trip: For 10 days in October, 2006, an elite crew of surfers and photographers joined one grand prize winner on an epic voyage from Nias to the Mentawais.

This wasn't your normal boat trip: Our goal was to meet the local people and see the work of SurfAid International in action. SurfAid offers a chance to give something back through health projects that promote community-based, self-help solutions. Primary goals include combating Malaria and rebuilding communities damaged by the tsunami and earthquake.

Best Bet Indonesia - Surfing's Disneyland is Open for Business: We'll stay in the Southern Hemisphere for our June 2007 Best Bet and send you packing to Indonesia. The Roaring 40s of the Indian Ocean are typically on fire this time of year, which send long-period SW to S groundswells to all the exposed reefs throughout the island chain. For the top exposed reefs it's fairly rare for the surf to dip below head high, with the largest days producing as much surf as most of us would ever want, easily exceeding the triple overhead mark at least a couple times per month on average.


SURFLINE SPECIAL FEATURE: ON DRY LAND by Lewis Samuels
Stay on land in the Mentawais and you may face the following dilemma: You're surfing a perfect left reef, off a small palm fringed island. A single charter boat motors away, leaving you alone in the lineup. The wind is calm, the sun is too strong, and swell lines are stacked from you to Madagascar. Please click the image to read more about how Kandui startedwith this interesting insight from correspondent Lewis Samuels.

YEAR OF THE SHAPER - SURFING MAGAZINE
This is a major article that appeared in Surfing Magazine in 2007.

We had a great time hosting these guys and the article came out fantastic!
