Surfing in the Mentawais || Ever wanted to go surf the Ments? At the start of the season, I got the opportunity to visit and surf the islands with a bunch of friends due to a last-minute dropout. We stayed at HTs Resort and surfed Lances Right every day! The waves were fun, but surprisingly tricky for a seemingly perfect wave. In addition to showing you the waves on offer, I’ve explained everything you need to know for a land-based Ments trip, from how to get there, where to stay, and estimated costs. Enjoy and fire away with any questions in the comments! Yew!
