Critical: The person you nominate must have 15,000+ followers and must be someone you'd actually share a room with for 10 nights. If they win, you're in the second bed.

The twist

You share the room.

Previous giveaways: nominators entered a lucky draw and might win a separate prize.

This giveaway: if your nominated Ambassador wins the public vote, you automatically enter the lucky draw for the second bed in the Premium Pair room.

  • Same private ensuite
  • Same ±10 day Flex window
  • Same extension options
  • Same everything

Choose your nominee wisely. Ten nights is a long time with the wrong person.

Full Package Comparison

Step by Step Guide into choosing your package

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.We decided to stop competing in that game.

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.

Are you a surfing enthusiast looking for the best value for money, shortest travel times, and the most reliable service in the Mentawai Islands? Look no further! We've curated a list of dates that promise a seamless and safe journey to the surfing paradise.

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.
