Kandui Resort ::::: Mentawai Islands ::::: Indonesia :::: Waves :::: Siberut Island

The Mentawai Islands are one of the most consistent surf destinations in the entire world. It's broad exposure towards the vast, southern Indian Ocean provides these majestic islands with remarkable consistency and quality. There are great waves in this area YEAR-ROUND. However, the most ideal time to surf in the Mentawai's is during the dry season, late March to early November, the southern hemisphere's winter, when the Indian Ocean is an ultra-active, groundswell producing machine. During the entire year Kandui Resort offers the average surfer the opportunity to score the best waves of their lives in the premiere surf resort location in the entire world, nothing else comes close...

Kandui Resort strives to maintain an educational, visual, and accurate website. We pride ourselves in delivering, what we think, is one of the best surfing related websites available; at the very least one of the best surf travel sites out there. This photo gallery section, and our entire site in general, is a constant work in progress and would not be possible without the talent and generosity of our guests and friends that contribute their work for us to display. Three people, in particular, have really made our website what it is today; these people are Brian Nevins, Sebastian Imizcoz, and Dave Collyer. Through their images and vision we're able to show our visitors an intimate look into not only the phenomenal waves the Mentawai Islands are known for, but perhaps more importantly, the culture and overall experience a trip to the Mentawai Islands encompasses. We hope you enjoy their photos as much as we do; thanks guys.
