The Trip

EXPERIENCE THE ULTIMATE SURF ADVENTURE

JOIN US FOR A SURF COACHING ADVENTURE ACROSS INDONESIA’S MOST ICONIC WAVE ZONES.
From flawless right-hand barrels to playful lefts and performance peaks — this trip combines high-quality surf, expert coaching, and a seriously good crew.

The Experience

You’ll spend 14 days living on a surf charter boat, chasing the best conditions between the Mentawai Islands and the Banyaks. The goal? To score a variety of world-class reef breaks — from fast and hollow to smooth and rippable — while improving your surfing every single day.

You’ll get:
✅ Daily surf coaching & in-water feedback
✅ Video analysis & personalized progression plans
✅ Breathwork and mindset training
✅ Movement & mobility sessions
✅ Guidance on surf strategy and positioning
✅ Time to simply surf, relax, and live the dream

This is not just a surf trip — it’s a coaching immersion designed to elevate your surfing long after the trip ends.

About the Waves

Expect powerful, consistent, and mechanical reef breaks. The Mentawais deliver ultra-consistent perfection, with spots like Rifles, Beng Beng, and Nipussi offering world-class conditions. The Banyaks bring a slightly different flavor — long, dreamy point-style waves and less-crowded setups like Treasure Island and Cobra Rights.

The combination makes this trip ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers who want to test their skills across different reef setups and refine their approach to high-quality waves.

Wave size typically ranges from 3–6ft (head-high to overhead), with the occasional larger swell lighting up the lineup.

Accomodation

The Star Koat 2 accommodates up to 12 guests across 6 air-conditioned twin-share cabins (each cabin has two single beds). The boat features a large air-conditioned lounge/dining area with home-theatre-style TV setup, shaded top deck for relaxing, board storage, and dedicated surf support vessels (18 ft speedboat + 12 ft tender) for accessing prime reef breaks of the Mentawai/Banyaks region. Built with comfort and performance in mind (twin Nissan RF10 420 HP engines, fiberglass hull, cruise speed ~10-12 knots), the vessel is fully equipped for surf-charter operation with modern navigation and safety systems.

    • No. This is Indonesia. It’s absolutely surfable at an intermediate level, but for beginners, not so much unfortunately.

    • We expect consistent surf in the 2-4 foot range with a couple pulses of 6foot and potentially above. Perfect conditions to learn better technique… and still grab a few barrels!

    • No. I work only with the best technique coaches, so it comes down to scheduling. The earliest we may run another coaching trip will be 2025.

    • You get coaching from myself and Twiggy Van Ryan (world class technique coach and surfboard shaper). Everyday is a mix of coaching, video analysis, movement training, fun, surfing, tissue release, yoga, Foundation Training, in the water coaching, more surfing, lots of food, nutritional coaching…… Better health and better surfing.
