Why we chose to represent Surf in Mentawais:
The boat is called The Saraina, the owner and operator of the boat is the Local Legend, Dedi. He has been a surf guide for over 15 years and grew up in The Mentawai Islands. If there is a wave, he knows about it. The crew on board is incredible, they all work day and night to keep everyone comfortable. THE FOOD, it is insane. The chef, Safar, is a magician. He is always whipping up a meal or a delicious snack. After a long surf, no matter the time of day, Safar is there with your fix. The waves are some of the best in the world, and with Dedi at the helm he can take you to any peak you desire, right, left, A-frame, or longboard heaven. For more in depth info check out the two articles about The Saraina here. Any questions about this location please, send us an email, or give us a call

Boat: Air Conditioning through out for extra comfort!
Saraina can cover an area of 400 nautical miles (740km) up and down the Sumatran coast in search of the best waves and conditions. This makes it a great option for surf boat trips to the Mentawais where you want to experience as much as possible in a limited time. It’s an ideal alternative to travelling by road along the coastline, especially as the best spots aren’t accessible by road around here.
Food:
All meals are freshly prepared on board with a mix of local cuisine and some of your Western favourites. No-one goes hungry. With ample fridge and freezer space available on all trips, the drinks are cold and the food fresh and plentiful.
