Kingfisher Bay Surf Resort - Mentawai's

Private Bungalow

KingFisher Bay Surf Resort Mentawai's at Lances Left on the island of Sipora Indonesia...

We have been asked to feature this new surf resort on our blog as a favour to a friend...we haven't been here ourselves so can't comment first hand but if you check out the links below it certainly looks like the place to go if you're after a bungalow (see pics) where you'll be greeted by the impressive sight of Lances Left, arguably the most consistent world class wave in the mentawai archipelago. The resort is located in an extremely wave rich region with 10 different waves within 20 minutes via boat. With such an extensive selection to choose from; fun beach breaks, long lefts and rights, barrel perfection and heavy slabs, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced surfer all levels and appetites are catered for at Kingfisher Bay Resort.

Resort Bar

The Resort is beginning to jump with their restaurant booming due to the quality of the full time chef they have employed. Guests have arrived, the surf charter boats are beginning to drop guests for meals/drinks etc and surfers at HT's on the other side of the island are coming over to partake of the hospitality shown by the resort crew. HT's is only a 25 minute motor bike ride away or 20 minutes by the Resort's boat. Bookings are also being taken by charter boat surfers opting to spend a few nites at the resort and then being picked up at a later date.

Welcome Home Amigo

Welcome home Maddox. The surf is a bit better in California than it is in Arizona.

Looking forward to sharing some waves with you this Summer.

Invasion! From Planet C Trailer - They're coming to take your waves! They're coming to take your women!

This is a trailer for a full length feature film made and acted by Matt Plummer and Mike Black (yes, the same Matt Plummer who was here in the glassing bay with Eden Saul two days ago - see previous post) This aptly labeled C Grade movie has received cult status in the US and carving an underground niche among fans here too...the plot of the movie is two aliens from a sister planet to earth (similar to humans and same language etc) have come to earth to look for their depleted energy source which is 'stoke'! So when they get here they find copious amounts of 'stoke' in the waves on earth and they find they can collect it by surfing, the stoke fills their surfboards which they can then extract from their boards once on land and retain it in customised fuel cells which they will eventually take back to their own planet. There is adventure, love, some violence and heaps of surfing, all the ingredients for a good movie....
So, subscribe to our blog to win a free copy of this full length cult feature film Invasion! from Planet C

7'9 Stepdeck | Initial Thoughts

Took the stepdeck out for a maiden session today at 61st. Super fast and responsive, lots of potential and lots of learning to do. Really happy with how this thing planes through soft sections.
