Through The Blue – seriously how inviting does this water look? Boardies all the way!

 

 

Unridden – don’t let too many of these roll in unridden!

 

 

That Backdrop – honestly you’ll be hard pushed to find anywhere with more palm trees than these islands!

 

 

Blues & Greens – Just. Wow.

 

 

Smiles All Round. The Ments isn’t just for pros – there are plenty of playful waves around for advanced intermediates too.

 

 

Daily Commute – Yup, just another day in the Mentawais!
