The Indo surf season officially runs from April to October.
Of course, sneaky swells happen before and after that prime window, with a fraction of the crowds.
“How much surfing can you fit into one day? or night…?,” writes Charlie Stambolieff, from Onboard Store, in the description of this short film. “Teiki and Liam from Ht’s Resort gave us a last minute call saying that it could be worth coming over for this sneaky spike in swell. It was a perfect direction for HT’s and we figured it might be our last chance before the Indo dry season officially starts and the hoards of frothing crew make the pilgrimage to the Mentawai Islands. After a few quick calls we pulled the pin and went.”
As it turns out, the early birds truly did get the worm this year. Once the dry season kicked in, a pesky and nonstop SE wind flow made a mess of the Ments, so Langburne, Cram and crew truly scored a handful of the best sessions of the season at Lance’s Right and Lance’s Left, under both beautiful sunny skies, as well as a full moon.
