Tengirri

The quality and consistency of the waves in the Mentawai's area is well known, even though there  are a lot of charter boats operating. There are still PLENTY of waves to be had and it is DEFINITELY still possible to score perfect, uncrowded surf in the Mentawai's due to the number and variety of breaks. The best thing about the Mentawai's and the West Sumatran area is that the majority of waves are surfable on all tides meaning it is possible to surf ALL DAY!!! The other good thing about this area is that there are reefs facing every direction of the compass, meaning there is always a perfect wave breaking somewhere.  The Tengirri crew still have some semi-secret breaks in their kit of surprises and try to get you surfing alone whenever possible.

Catamarans are well known for their speed, stability at sea and spacious layout, giving you maximum space to relax whilst at anchor and the speed to get you there. Tengirri is certainly no exception to this and Tengirri is one of the strongest, safest, and fastest vessels operating in Indonesia. Tengirri is powered by twin 430HP Cummins engines and cruises comfortably at 15-17 knots and is capable of doing up to 22 knots, is built of aluminium alloy and has plenty of spacious living areas. To maximise your holiday and surf time the moment you reach the port in Padang they arrange to have you surfing early the next morning. Tengirri mostly aims to travel at night at a comfortable speed of 10 knots to prepare you for the following days surfing. If the conditions change during the day they simply up anchor and travel faster than most other boats to a better location. The charter experience Tengirri provides includes the expert knowledge of an experienced Australian skipper and also an experienced Australian surf guide and using their knowledge they can virtually find you waves every day.
