Surf
Wave Park consists of 26 named waves, and a number of secret spots only known by the best guides in the Mentawais. We are also the only resort to include in your price regular travel inter-island to look for waves and fish.
With our new speedboat service, you’ll be able to reach Telescopes, Scarecrows, Iceland’s as well as other spots on the north coast of Sipora.
Wave Park Resort is special within the Mentawais for these reasons:
We have the highest density of good waves in the Mentawai Islands. Every wave is within a 30-minute speedboat ride from the resort. Every wind is offshore somewhere. This means that you will always be surfing clean waves if you want to. Our swell window is huge, from 240 SW through to 165 SE, our area rakes in the swell from the southern Indian Ocean.
Our waves are the closest Mentawai waves to mainland Sumatra, which means less travel time for you between your home and our perfect waves. We have waves that cater to beginners and professional surfers.We limit our guest capacity to 12 surfers, which means more waves for everybody! Every difficult wave has an alternate and easier wave nearby. This means we can split our group up for different surf abilities.
