Just got home this morning from an amazing 10 days in the Ments.

Swell every day. Lefts and rights...looks like we timed it just perfect

Pictures tell the story.

Big props to the crew from Kaimana!

Nice Pics F5 thanks for sharing
Lucky bugger, I'm jealous as. I just finished reading Doggies thread about the Mentawais, got me frothing, then I see this.
I haven't surfed much in the last few years, (since moving back to the mainland after 5 years on Rotto), but have been getting into kiting, however checking out some of the photo's reminds me of how good paddling in can be.
No Menti's/Indo for me this year but heading to G'loo in a weeks time, doubt that I will get it that glassy but hanging out for it anyway .

no thank ****!!!

I was next in line after that guy and was secretly glad I didnt have to take that one He snapped his leggie and was reefed pretty bad. A mate had a word to him in the channel and he was pretty shaken then went in.

It was a heavy afternoon that one.
