Perhaps you’ve never been to the Ments before, or never had a ‘proper’ barrel. Maybe you have, but it just sort of happened and you have no idea how to repeat it. This is the trip for you.

There’s a simple recipe for learning to get tubed; hollow waves + repetition. Most of us get neither. That is why we are taking our signature surf coaching trips to the surfers Mecca of the Mentawais. Don’t let this intimidate you though – we have carefully selected the time of year for the best chance of user-friendly swells and far less crowds, and this is exactly what we will be on the hunt for. With daily in-water coaching and guiding, there really is no better environment to push your limits safely in quality surf.

Our floating home for these trips will be the incredible Star Koat 2. Undoubtedly one of the best surf boats in the Mentawais, it was purpose built just a few years ago for hunting down the very best waves across the archipelago. Air-conditioned cabins, en-suite bathrooms, fast cruising speed, 2 support vessels, incredible food and 5 beers each day are all included in the package. From filming and surf forecasting, to airport transfers and video analysis, Renegade will take care of every detail so that all you have to focus on is surfing.
