Beng Bengs Surfcamp Mentawai

The Camp:

Our beachfront location is situated right in front of Ebay and is a beautiful, private, 4-bedroom guesthouse catering for maximum 10 people. It is a traditional Mentawaian house of 170 square meters built by local handicraftsman. 2 of the rooms are furnished with double beds and the other 2 rooms have bunk beds. Each room is equipped with a fan, mosquito nets and plugs. All linens are provided and just outside the guesthouse there is the shower building with the toilet.

The Boats:

We have two speedboats to cater for different activities. These boats are hand-made Mentawaian canoes designed and made by locals in Siberut. The local construction ensures that they have been created to work in any Mentawaian condition. They are also equipped surfboard racks, seating and obviously a roof to shade us from the strong tropical sun. The smaller boat can carry 6 people and runs with one engine of 40 horse power. The bigger boat can carry 8 people and run with two engines of 40 horse power each. Trust our experienced Surfguides to take you to the best waves. Alternatively you can decide amongst the group where you would like to go and which waves you would like to check out. Another positive aspect about having two different speedboats is that you have the option to do different activities. Maybe you feel like fishing or checking out some different islands.

Our Meals:

Our all inclusive package includes 3 healthy and delicious meals. Our chef will pamper you. She will decide day-by-day specialties. At the surf camp you will be indulging in a mixture of both Western and Indonesian cuisine so you can have the best of both worlds. You will also have the option of daily fresh fish. The local fisherman will provide seafood or better yet catch it yourself and cook it on the BBQ.

Location:

The surf camp is situated on the west side of the Nyang Nyang Island. A sunny tropical paradise, immersed in the Indian Ocean, and it’s here that after a long journey you can rest your body and your mind relaxing on a sun bed on the beach, looking at the deep blue ocean that surrounds you. Or if admiring the perfect left-hander ‘E-Bay’ right in front of the guesthouse is too much temptation grab your board and start paddling toward it. Jump in the boat for a two minute trip to another left-hander named BENG-BENGS, (now you know how the camp got it’s name) alternatively take 15 minute trek through the tropical jungle.

It doesn’t matter what you choose to do, the most important thing is that you are finally here, on Nyang Nyang Island, one of the five Islands that belong to southern Siberut region of Mentawais, an area well known as the legendary “Playground”. It is located 135 km south west of the Sumatra mainland at almost 2 degrees below the equator. Our island has 5 famous and different surf breaks: – Beng Bengs, E-Bay, Pitstop, Bankvaults, and Nipussi. The Mentawai archipelago lies off the west coast of Sumatra in northern Indonesia and is made up of the four main islands of Siberut, Sipora, and North and South Pagai, with numerous smaller islands scattered throughout the region. These islands have the perfect combination of swell and wind to satisfy every surfers desire.
