First Solo Trip Was Unreal
Andy, Maui, Occy and the Oasis crew were amazing. Food was unreal and everything ran smoothly?eat, surf, relax. Waves were good and the whole experience was effortless. Huge thanks for putting me onto the trip.
Amazing experience
I have used The Perfect Wave for both land based and boat trips and Marie and TPW team have always gone above and beyond for me. The Occy trip was amazing from start to finish and can’t wait for my trip next year on the Quest 1. I also plan to do the Occy trip again next year. To be able to spend a week with Occy was a lifetime experience.
Wow. Best trip of a lifetime.
Charlie looked after everything perfectly on The Perfect Wave’s end, and Aloita was in a class of its own. The waves – perfect. Better than the pictures. The food – almost too much to handle. It is better than they describe. The staff – so accommodating and hospitable, it has a tropical island feel about it but the staff make you feel as if you were home. We were pretty stoked they got satellite tv installed the week before we got there – live footy, beers and a pool table after a few surfs. Living the dream as we kept saying. Thanks to everyone at The Perfect Wave and Aloita Resort for making it the best time.
Trip was unreal
Ben from Perfect Wave, Stu from Swellnet and of course Occy were great. Was an absolute blast.
Wow!!!!
Surfing perfect waves with WORLD CHAMPION, PIPELINE MASTER MARK OCCHILUPO, doesn’t get any better!!! I traveled to the Mentawai islands with “The Perfect Wave ” during a perfect season of waves, wind and weather. Traveling with the legends “OCCY”, The Perfect Wave’s ‘Ben Horvath and Swellnet’;s Stu Nettle. Occy with his tips on board design and surfing technique, Ben taking us to destinations found by the true explorers and Stu predicting wave height, swell direction, wind speed and direction with the latest wave forecasting technologies. The “Aloita Resort ” was spectacularly located with its private beaches, perfect waves at your doorstep and cold Bintang in the “Liquid Lounge”. We scored perfect waves everyday and surfed for hours only to return to the resort to relax with a massage or a yoga class to stretch and get ready for the next surf. The nights were filled with laughter and stories of the wave of the day with internationally known photographer Andy Potts displaying footage from the day’s adventure on the big screen TV with shots from the boat, in the water camera and even a helicopter drone that would follow you as you flew down the line. I now have photos of some of the best waves I have ever surfed and will surely be plastered on my walls so as to never forget the waves, the local communities, the radical surfers I travelled with and the beautiful island I stayed on. All thanks to “The Perfect Wave”. Grab your board coz perfect waves are out there!!!!

The Boat
Oasis is a very good-value surf charter boat in Mentawais, able to serve up to 8 to 12 surfers. She is a 80-feet long traditional Indonesian boat and has a 17-foot speedboat with 85HP onboard to get you fast to the surf breaks.
Activities
After a surf, go for a snorkel or pull out a rod to catch some fish. Lots of good meals are just waiting to be caught in the clean blue Indian Ocean that surround the Mentawai Islands. As you journey between waves, the boat will be trolling with lures out to catch fish. Often times you'll pull in Dorados, Onos, Mackerel, Grouper and the occasional Marlin or Sailfish.
Surfing
Best quality waves in the world. The Mentawai Islands and the wider regions expanding up to Nias and further south has one of the best wave fields in the world. Open to all the amazing long period swells generated from the south indian ocean’s roaring 40’s, yet nestled away on the equator with lighter winds and weather systems. This combined for perfect swells, perfect weather and amazing barrels.
