The Surfing Village is a 'back to the roots' surfing experience based in a wave-rich area between Nias and the Mentawais. We're not giving away the location as it is hardly known and guarantees many quality waves with mostly just you surfing. Of longer than usual duration, this trip is perfect for those wanting that special combination of adventure, remoteness and community, along with a level of comfort needed to surf at your best.
So far there are about 18 known waves in the area, 3 of them are located right on the doorstep of the Surfing Village (Pasti, Nagadens and Ibua). There are another 12 waves within a 20 minute boat trip away. Access to these is included in the package. There's another 3 waves a little more than an hour away (Jauh, Facas and Shhh). Potential for further discoveries is very high with a number of reefs yet to be surfed.
The extensive range of waves in this area provides something for everyone, ranging from heavy, fast and hollow pits to mellow peaks with very long to quite short waves and everything in between, including beach breaks. THis package is more suited to the intermediate to advanced surfer, but there are waves for beginners as well.
Your hosts Mario and Paulo will ensure you get to the best waves, given conditions and you wave preference. professional photos of your trip are also available at extra cost.

ABOUT SURFING VILLAGE |
Your Hosts |
Surfing Village was set up in 2006 by Brazilians Mario and Paulo. After years of traveling and surfing they met in Padang and teamed up to make their dream come true. |
Accommodation |
Your accommodation is built with local wood and materials to suit the local climate and consists of one main building and 4 bungalows.
The 'headquarters' main building is where our guests spend most of their “dry” time. With eco-friendly construction, it has three floors, plus the ground area. The ground area is home to our 9 x 9 foot billiard table, where we hold our very competitive pool championships.
The first floor (14 x 14 meters) is the dining and bar area where guests spend most of their non-surfing time eating, drinking and socialising, reading, playing games, or just relaxing in the hammock area, completely surrounded by our potent audio system, equipped with extensive music collection, or connecting straight ipod’s etc.
The second floor has 10 x 10 meter open space, for your yoga, stretching, relaxing, etc.... The third floor is our TV room. With a spectacular 360 degree view of the waves and surroundings, this is where you relax after lunch, watch a movie or a surf video, all the while keeping one eye on the pumping surf. After dinner this is where we have the famous daily slide shows, screening all the photos of the day from our professional photographer. As well as a wide collection of movies and surf videos, we also have satellite TV with channels such as: CNN, HBO 1, 2 and 3, Cinemax, Discovery, National Geographic, ESPN, MTV, Fashion TV etc.
The bungalows are two floors high, the first floor is the board room and hang out area, outside deck and two private bedrooms with King size beds, that comfortably house two couples. Equipped with white cotton sheets, special mosquito nets, individual fans and bamboo blinds for extra privacy. The second floor is an open loft with a 360 degree view, housing one King size bed, with cotton sheets and special mosquito net situated beneath a large ceiling fan. All four bungalows have a private, western style outside toilet with a flush system and a separate bathroom with running tap water as well as a hot and cold water shower. |
Meals |
The package includes 3 substantial meals per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) to recharge your energy needed for a good day of surfing. The menu includes local and western dishes, ranging from pizza to nasi goreng, all prepared by our international chef with the best quality produce and highest hygiene standards. Water, tea and coffee are included.
For the munchies, the restaurant also has an a la carte menu, that can be ordered at any time of the day.
