October in the Mentawais - video
The Indo season has had a long tail with a series of large to mid-range swells hitting the island chain throughout September and October. Working out of Aloita Resort, Grant Davis compiled this video which was shot at the waves surrounding the camp: Telescopes, Tikus, Scarecrows, and Icelands.

Sobering.
The perfect wave/s with the not so perfect crowds :)
OMG WTF? 1:35 how crowded is Tikus and its a B-grade wave.
That makes me sad :(
I blinked at that too. All I can think of is that it was shot during the large swell they had in October and it was the only place handling it.
Surfed that a few times last year on my own.
Limiting S/SE winds as well remember, could of pushed everyone to the protected spots?
Yeah i did consider those two factors but its hard to imagine Telescopes being too big and it looks fairly glassy so maybe opens up another one or two options plus ikan muka.
hows the smoke haze. need a gas mask
.
The fish ( baby Noah ?) surfing the left at 25 seconds is ripping.
Apart from that , pretty waves.....but the surf spot as product to be pushed makes me ill.
That fish is fully pitted.
Start to finish.
25 second mark.
Grey left, no human rider.
One fish cutting sick in the pit.
Proper Hot Tuna.
