Mentawaii's Boat Trip 10th Oct for $2,200: Few seats available
Padang is a great place hey
Everyone always disses Padang, but its my fav Indo city, much better than Medan or Jakarta or any small city in Java, most are inland so hotter than padang, no sea breeze and no relief from smog and you feel trapped atleast at padang you can see the ocean and see the horizon.
Plus padang has pretty much everything apart from decent waves although if your desperate you can get a surf, Padang has great local food like authentic Padang food or Matabak or fresh grilled seafood near the beach, but you can still get western fix of junk food, like KFC and Pizza hut if needed, theres a few bars and local expat scene, and apart from alcohol everything is dirt cheap.
And even though the beach is dirty and ugly with groynes etc, i still like to sit out on the groynes and watch the sunset knowing the mentawais are just out of eyesight.
But the thing i really dig about Padang is if your there your either breathing in the air of anticipation about to head out to Mentawais or Tellos or you have returned most likely in surfed out bliss, with memorys of waves scared on your brain for eternity.
Also if you have ever spent a month or two out in the Islands its a good place to return to recharge, recharge on what im not quite sure, what it is, but i think Padang has saved many from island fever (including me :)

It's the 16 th now boat was to go out the 10 th, expect it smallish last few days, but first days of trip should have been good size, but from my personal experience I'd never hit ments in oct- nov, often crap month especially November one of the wettest months and lows often form of Sumatra screwing up any proper long period ground swell.

Hahahahahhhhahaa. you funny fucker
yeah mate padang is great. that water in the harbour there looks so tempting. And the the orange cab/mini vans/ hot rod/ pieces of shit are really few and far between.
ps I ate pizza hut and got sick
Hey gang,
We've had a couple of last minute pull-outs on our boat trip, and need at least two more people.
It's a great boat, with a cool bunch of lads. No one absolutely shreds, but we all want to find great waves and get barrelled.
