There are only a handful of words that when slid through the email inbox of a surf publication are instantly read. “Surf trip,” and “pumping Mentawais” are on the list. Second to actually going on a trip and scoring waves, if there’s a place that’s worth its weight in vicarious digital mind surfing it’s the Mentawais.
“I wanted to drop you an email because it’s been absolutely pumping in the Mentawais,” filmer Justis St. John told The Inertia. And the proof is in the pudding. Here’s Kauai’s Teva Dexter getting equal parts slotted on his backhand and forehand at Kandui and Rifles respectively. And as is typical in the Ments, not a single drop of water is out of place as corduroy lines rope in. Thanks for the eye candy, Justis!
