Back on

The swell came back today up here in the Mentawai Islands. (Thankfully). The 25 boats in the area travelled overnight to their favourite breaks spread out in the archipelago. We arrived at dawn to a 3 foot mechanical left which is so perfect, it’s as if it was engineered specifically for practising your backhand whacks. (Not to mention a cheeky tube upon take off).

This break named after the tubular shape of pasta has featured in so many surfing DVDs – yet it’s really in the middle of nowhere. Not a building in sight or a person on land. Just a big neighbouring swamp with a few crocs.

Have a good day :: uge
