Even though the Mentawais is known for experienced surfers we happen to have a few breaks in the nearby area that are suitable for beginner surf lessons, intermediate surfers as well. All levels are welcome!

Q: Do I need prior surfing experience to join the surf camp?

A: Not at all! Our surf camp is designed to welcome participants of all skill levels, including beginners. Whether you’re a complete novice or have never even touched a surfboard before, we’re here to help you learn and enjoy the thrill of surfing. Our L1 and L2 surf lessons are specifically tailored for beginners, providing a solid foundation to get you started.

Q: Where can I find more information about the surf lessons?

A: You can find detailed information about our surf lessons on the “one package fits all” page on our website. This page outlines the contents of the package, including the duration of the lessons and what you can expect to learn at each level. Whether you’re interested in L1 or L2, you’ll find all the necessary information to help you choose the right option for your skill level.

No need to keep a large budget for food as we will provide 7 days a week full board meals. Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks & Dinner is included in our Mentawai package, as the local options are scarce. Local food is available at a much lower cost than European-style cuisine but the choice is very very limited. If you like to have a taste of what the island cuisine is like it will be mostly based on Padang food or streetfood (which is definitely worth the try). There are literally a few small local Warungs (restaurants) that serve fried chicken (Ayam Lalapan), Nasi Padang, Rendang and few other options. You can also find a Chinese warung on a 15 min drive along the main road or can go on a 5 min walk down the beach and visit the only western food, Pizza and Burgers, place on the island “The Bakery”. Ofcourse you can also buy your own snacks and food in the supply stores that you can find in town such as crisps, coke, water, chocolate, icecream etc. We feel it is good to go out sometimes, meet the friendly locals and see what is out there while supporting the local economy at the same time.

Mentawai offers excellent surf conditions year-round. Even during the offseason, the quality of the surf surpasses that of many high-season destinations. Indonesia, in general, boasts consistently excellent surf, attracting surfers and professionals throughout the year. The main surfing season, from May to September, is renowned for its bigger and more consistent swells. However, these swells can sometimes be too large for the average surfer and activating big wave spots that the PRO surfers are looking for. Nonetheless, there is still plenty of surf spots available during the high season even with big swells, ensuring fun for surfers of all levels including beginners.

For most surfers, the shoulder season (October/November – March/April) and even the off-season (December, january, February) are suitable choices. 

During these periods, the surf remains superb and is particularly suitable for beginner to intermediate/advanced surfers. While there may be fewer big swells, the waves are still fun and accessible. 

The rain season, unlike some other regions like Bali or Sri Lanka, Mentawai does not experience a distinct rainy season or monsoon. Rain is spread throughout the year, with a slight increase during the off-season but still plenty of sunny days to boast your vitamin D.

In conclusion, there is never a bad time to visit Indonesia for surfing. Whether it’s the peak season or the quieter shoulder/off-season, Mentawai offers consistent waves and enjoyable surfing experiences for all skill levels.

No mandatory vaccine requirements are nescessary to enter Indonesia and the Mentawais.

Travel and cancellation insurance are essential and obligated for any traveler that books with Solid Surf House, as unforeseen circumstances can arise during any trip. Such circumstances can include accidents, medical emergencies, loss of baggage or passports, and trip cancellations or flight interruptions & cancellations. Without insurance, travelers may find themselves facing significant financial losses. In case of booking costs, Solid Surf House is not obligated to compensate in any of these events.

Travel & Cancellation insurances provides coverage for such unforeseen events, ensuring that travelers are protected against financial losses that may arise due to these events. Cancellation insurance, in particular, provides coverage for the expenses incurred when a trip is canceled or interrupted due to unforeseen circumstances.

Thus, having travel and cancellation insurance is crucial for travelers as it offers peace of mind and financial protection during their journeys. This remains at the responsibility of the traveller and Solid Surf House guest.

We are the fastest to reach location in the Mentawais. Mentawais is a group of three islands in front of the Indonesia province Sumatra. 

One of the three Mentawai Islands is Sipora Island, which where we are located a 10 min drive from the terminal port and capital of the Mentawai, village called Tua Pejat.

It is not very complicated to get here as it is it is three steps only.

To simplify your journey to the Mentawai we will give you a easy break down first, before getting into more details and schedules.

We will start with the first city of arrival in Indonesia: PADANG.

Padang you can reach from Kuala Lumpur or Jakarta.

 

HOW TO GET HERE

Fly to and arrive in Padang —> to the hotel in Padang. Spend one night there to catch the Fast Ferry or Flight early in the next morning. There is no option to travel the same day to the Mentawai Islands. A night in Padang is therefore required.

Once arrived in the Mentawai (Sipora Island, Tua Pejat) we will pick you up from the terminal harbour or Rokot Airport and bring you to our surf house, which is nearby.

Your total trip will look like this:

1. Arrival Padang City (Sumatera) —> Hotel in Padang. There is no same day transfer to Mentawai possible, a night stay is therefore required. Arrive the day before the fast ferry or flight goes to Mentawai.

2. Early next morning (fast ferry or flight) —> Tua Pejat ( Fast Ferry or Flight is on Monday – Wednesday – Friday – Sunday)

3. Arrival Tua Pejat —> Solid Surf House (Sipora Island / Mentawais)
