We recently came back from an awesome Mentawai Islands SUP surfing Boat trip in early April 2017. We got a ton of footage of our international team riders and going through and editing it takes a lot of time. My plan is to put together daily trip video log (some of which are quite long) and will try to post a video for each of the 10 days on a weekly basis. We will also post one short video of the trip as well as team rider profiles and some "how to SUP" surf videos and I will post them here as they are finished.
Here is the first day video where we surf at Lance's left on the first morning after motoring overnight and talk about traveling to Padang Indonesia with over 20 boards.

Having been to the Mentawai Islands surfing i wouldn't envy anyone logging 20 sup boards around. That must of been tough!!!

I loved Lances Lefts. Did you get to Thunders by any chance?

Nice video. Given the volume of the board and the way he barely uses his paddle on the wave I'd have to question why he doesn't just use a surfboard prone to be honest. Great surfing nonetheless.

Thank you for the comments, I'm glad you guys are enjoying it. I have been busy and have not had time to finish the Day 2 edit yet, but it's coming. For now, here is another short video from the trip, where I'm foiling on the wake of the surf charter boat:


On our recent Blue Planet SUP surfing team boat trip in the Mentawais, I asked Andrew, the boat captain if he would tow me into the wake of the charter boat on my foil board.
Whenever I'm on a boat I always look at the wakes and daydream about surfing on them. Andrew was game and after a few attempts and crashes, I finally got a good backside ride on the wake. I think with a little practice, it's possible to foil on a boat wake until your legs give out. This was truly a dream come true for me, how fitting that the Pelagic Surf Charter boats motto is "Live the dream". I used a Blue Planet 5'6 Ulua fish board with a Go Foil Maliko foil. Thank you captain Andrew!

I finally got around to editing the second day video log of our boat trip. We were moored at Macaroni's resort and SUP surfed and foil boarded at KFC's. The Bintangs flowed on the second night and things got a bit crazy...
