Taking off for your surf trip is always a mix of emotions. You’ve been looking forward to it for ages and still it sneaks up on you in a whirlwind of frantic froth. For a boat trip with your mates, there are usually a few things going on.

Firstly, your group chat is relentlessly pinging with mostly useless excitement from the crew. Forecasts and charts bounce around and all of a sudden everyone thinks they’re Tim Bailey. The serious questions pop up like “how many boards you taking, you think I’ll need a step up?” or for the less informed “What’s the name of the boat again and what day does it start?”

My favourite part of the lead up is stepping onto the first flight. This means you’ve wrapped up at work, said goodbyes to the family, packed bags and you’ve managed not to miss your plane. It’s nothing but beers and movies until that first dunk in tropical waters.

This particular trip to the Mentawai onboard the Naga Laut was an international reunion of friends. We came from Canada, UK, Maldives and Oz to catch up over a load of barrels and Bintangs. Agree with me or not, barrels get better with your buddies.

We scored a really good range of waves with stand out sessions at HT’s, Maccas, Thunders and Roxies.

A shout out to The Naga Laut! Always on the money for waves, quick and friendly crew, smooth running boat, comfortable layout and certainly no doubt about being well fed.

As a travel agent you realise how many amazing places are out there and still to visit…. and yet… I’ll be going back to the Mentawai as much as possible for a long time to come.
