At Mentawai Surf Camp, we've learned that flexibility requires space. When you book a Full Camp Buyout for 10+ nights, you're not just reserving beds — you're reserving the entire calendar month to find perfect waves.

HOW THE FULL MONTH BLOCK WORKS

When you book 10+ nights with ±10 day flexibility, your operational window spans 30 days:

  • 10 days before your target (earliest possible shift)
  • 10 nights base stay
  • 10 days after + extension potential (latest possible shift)

30 days = full calendar month. We cannot accept other guests when your Buyout might shift across the entire month. So we block it entirely. You get total exclusivity.

10-Night Buyout — Full Month Block

June 2026

Week:      1-7      8-14     15-21    22-28    29-5

│        │        │        │        │

Jun 1-14:  [BUFFER]  ← Pre-flex (could shift here)

Jun 15-25: [YOUR BUYOUT]  ← 10 nights target

Jun 25-30: [BUFFER]  ← Post-flex

Jul 1-10:  [BUFFER]  ← Extension possible

Total block: FULL MONTH (June 1-30)

Other guests: NONE

What this means: Complete exclusivity. If the forecast shows June 5-15 will be epic, you shift earlier. If June 25-July 5 looks better, you extend. Total control. No other guests. No shared boats.

WHY 10+ NIGHTS LOCKS THE MONTH

Scenario: You book June 15-25 (10 nights) with ±10 day flexibility.

Simpler solution: Block June 1-30 entirely. Call it "full month exclusivity." You get total control; we get operational clarity.

PRICING: THE SWEET SPOTS

YOUR FLEET (ALL 6 BOATS)

HOW TO CHOOSE: GROUP SIZE

INSIDER TIP

"Groups who've done the Mentawais before almost always choose 10+ nights. They know that one extra day of perfect waves is worth more than shaving the budget. The full month control means you never miss the swell of the season because you had to catch a flight home."

THE BOTTOM LINE

10 nights doesn't just mean more surfing. It means total month control. No other guests. No shared boats. Your waves, your way, whenever the forecast says "go."

✓ Full calendar month blocked (30-31 days)

Four Rooms. One Promise. Your Month, Your Waves.

The Month Is Yours. Total Exclusivity. Perfect Waves.

After 18 years in the Mentawais, I've watched surf camps multiply across these islands like reef breaks after a cyclone. More operators. More beds. More boats. More identical packages with fixed dates, shared lineups, and the same gamble every guest has always taken: book months in advance and hope the swell shows up.

Last week, the Indonesian government revoked the business permits of 28 companies operating in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra, citing violations related to forest use and land management. At Mentawai Surf Camp, we see boats as more than transport. They are the backbone of island life — for tourism, fishing, safety, and daily movement between villages.That is why, over recent years, we have been developing and using fiberglass boats as an alternative to forest-dependent wooden vessels.

At the heart of our operations in the Mentawai Islands we’ve always believed that better boats = better waves. That’s why we’re proud to introduce Liverpool, our new custom-built fiberglass surf craft—designed for speed, safety, comfort and minimal impact on the reef environment.

Zak and Sacha are the youngest members of the Mentawai Surf Camp family — island kids growing up where the jungle meets the sea.

Our coaching program is built for progression — whether you’re catching your first green waves or refining high-speed turns on reef breaks. Led by our family team including @surfwiththariq and supported by our experienced local guides and film crew, each session is adapted to your level, conditions, and personal goals
