Learn to surf in Mentawai
Helpful Information
You don’t have to be a pro to surf in Mentawai. With so many waves on our doorstep it’s also the perfect place for learning and progressing your surfing.
It’s a bit of a misconception that the Mentawai Islands only for advanced and pro surfers. Sure, it is home to some seriously good, heavy barreling waves that on their day have even the most advanced surfers nervous, but that’s not all the islands have to offer.
Just a short walk from Villa Onu are waves perfectly suited to beginners looking to try surfing for the first time, or intermediate surfers looking to progress and surf in more challenging waves.
Villa Onus surf coaches will take you to the best waves for your ability and provide expert guidance.
