Surf tours
In the South of Siberut lies the hearth of the Mentawai Islands: Playgrounds. Here the Indian Ocean is constantly sending waves which have traveled long and built up power, creating perfect left- and right-handers over the coral reefs off the islands. The Umata Village accommodation is located near Baby Kandui and a walking/paddle distance from Four Bobs, Kandui and Karambak-Left. By boat more than 20 quality surf breaks are reachable within 40 minutes. Below a map of the surf breaks are shown, these do not include the secret spots.
