Having personally lived, owned a surf charter and run surf trips in Indonesia for more than a decade, we have unique firsthand insights into the area's tourism, seasons and waves. Our trips are about quality boats and resorts, but with a distinct focus on only the best Surf Gurus in the islands. They are what make a good trip into an extraordinary trip!! We work only with the most reputable boat and resort operators, of whom we have first hand knowledge. Our goal is to minimize travel stress, maximize time in the ocean and provide a surf trip experience to which you will compare all others.

Kingfisher's beautiful bungalows are nestled between the jungle and a pristine Indian Ocean. With the most consistent left in the Mentawais just steps away and the most desired right just around the corner, this is a perfect place to relax in a strikingly idyllic setting, go fishing or score perfect waves.
Situated on a private island with an empty white sand beach, pristine lagoon, and world class left, Togat Nusa is the perfect place for couples, yogis and surfers alike. Each private bungalow is built as a unique work of art and is a must see in this area. Those who have experienced this paradise often return yearly.

With a large open property, huge Nias style bungalows, and an infiniti pool bar, Telos 101 is quickly becoming a favorite for all Telo travelers. One of the best rights in the area is off the top of the island and dozens of other waves are accessible by speedboat. Scuba is offered as well making for a truly all inclusive adventure.
Situated on an isolated island off the coast of Nias allows guests access to some of the most consistent surf in Indonesia and some of the least crowded A grade surf in the world. With spacious villas, open tropical spaces and crystal clear water at your foot steps, you get that wonderful feeling of solitude at Puri Asu.

Joey, the trip was amazing and better than advertised. Crystal Clear is a very good boat and the set up of a catamaran is very stable at sea. Captain Moose put us on excellent surf. We would highly recommend Crystal Clear. Thanks for setting us up, I felt well prepared and you run a great set of charters.

Cardiff by the Sea, CA. MySurfTripGuru was exactly what we needed when we signed up late for a trip. He handled everything with ease and was punctual with every email and question we had. We also ended up scoring amazing waves by ourselves for half the trip! Thanks for a trip to remember and I hope to do another one sooner than later.

Santa Cruz, CA. What a pleasure having MySurfTripGuru get me and my buddies all dialed in for our dream trip to the Mentawais! From flights to boards to what we needed to bring Joey had us all covered. When we arrived we had the best crew on board D'Bora. First thing I can tell you about the Mentawais is that knowledge of the area is crucial. Yeah back home we know about wind, tide and swell direction, but MySurf Trip Guru brought his A-game and dialed us into the best waves WITHOUT crowds! CRUCIAL!!! I would highly recommend if it is your first trip to the Mentawais or ready to book another adventure with all your buddies to first check with the MySurfTripGuru.

MySurfTripGuru is the best!! My first time traveling to the Mentawais was so easy after using Joey. He helped me get the right flights and informed me what I needed to bring. He also had a shuttle set up to take me from the airport right to the boat. We were on D'Bora and it was an amazing boat with great staff and an experienced surf guide that got us the best waves. I highly recommend MySurfTripGuru to take the stress out of planning a trip. Joey makes the whole experience so easy! I just booked my third boat trip with him!!
