(about)
More than 15 world-class spots within a 30-minute radius, consistent waves, and comfortable conditions for progress. Both beginners and pros enjoy it here equally.
(seasonality)
december–january in the Mentawais is considered off-season for pros: big swells are rare, so most charter boats stay on shore. thanks to this, the spots are empty, and we often surf there alone. This period is the most comfortable for learning: fewer people, mellow waves without extreme conditions.

our main training wave — burger world — is a magnetic spot that works precisely without swell. that’s why during these months it’s consistent and ideal for progress.
Kokos Resort — a beautiful private villa hotel designed for 8 guests. A spacious 3-story house with 4 separate bedrooms, built in a mix of traditional Mentawai and modern style. The villa is equipped with everything you need: a big TV for surf reviews, unlimited Wi-Fi, air conditioning in the rooms, 2 hot-water showers for 4 rooms, as well as TRX, yoga mats, and back massagers.

Signature menu. Indonesian/European cuisine — without excess oil, over-frying, or heavy sauces. The food is designed specifically for surf trips: tasty and healthy.

Leisure: In your free time you can enjoy table tennis, darts, or fishing.

where
hotel
The hotel is located in the very center of the Mentawai Islands — surrounded by more than 15 world-class waves within 5–30 minutes. This makes our location the most convenient for training: right next to the hotel there are two waves (just 5–10 minutes away), perfect for practice.

The main wave where most of the surfing takes place — burger world — is also located much closer to the hotel compared to other resorts. Thanks to this, we spend most of the time exactly where it's to learn.
location
waves
It’s a right-hand point break with rides up to 250 meters. It has three different peaks: even if there are surfers at the top peak, you can always move lower and ride in a freer zone.

The wave is perfect for learning and practicing maneuvers: it’s not too fast and not too sharp, gives time to think and try something new, great for turns and cutbacks. The reef here is safe, currents are easy to cross, and getting back to the lineup is simple.

Burger is a magnetic spot that works even without swell, which means it almost always delivers a great wave. It’s fun, not exhausting, and remains one of the most picturesque waves in the entire archipelago.

Burger World — our main wave and my personal favorite in the Mentawais

It’s well sheltered from the wind and consistently works. The wave is soft, up to 150 meters long, with several peaks.

It gives plenty of time to practice maneuvers, perfect for cutbacks, speed generation training, and riding mid-length boards. Safe, comfortable, and very convenient for learning.

Good Times — a long left-hander just 5 minutes from our hotel

It doesn’t break often, but when it turns on, it’s pure magic A moderately powerful wave about 100 meters long, with an easy take-off and predictable sections. Ideal for practicing top turns and cutbacks: it has both faster and slower sections.
Beng Beng — a world-class left-hander 10 minutes from our hotel
This is an A-frame that breaks both ways: the right is short but punchy, perfect for one solid turn or training smaller barrel sections; the left is faster and more powerful, great for vertical maneuvers. The wave is easy to read, consistently pushes, and at the same time doesn’t drain you: easy paddle-outs and simple return to the lineup.

Dog Reef (A-Frame) — a powerful, compact wave just 7 minutes from our hotel
