    Looks amazing. Would be interested in seeing you return and give us a review of one of the cheaper resorts. It's real expensive. Thanks for the insight. 😀🤙

      @MARVIN SMALL - I'd love to because Kandui certainly ain't cheap! Not sure when that's going to be though as I've got other places to visit in the meantime but I'm sure I'll make it back there someday

      @Irsya Ahmad - yep, not on the mainland but islands off the coast of West Sumatra

    Now , it's mostly for the rich ... , but I bet , low season with cash in hand , supplies from padang , & a tent you can still score the waves of your life .. enjoy ..

      @Le Gentilhomme de Fortune - haha true adventurer style, though you'll have to pick your spot unless you have a boat!

    You chose April knowing it was shoulder season and yet, in your summary, you whinge about not getting size and barrels. Yes, Rifles, all time kine, firing and connecting from outside all the way through for a 400 yd +++ ride happens just a few times each year... but there are many days that it'll run 100+ yds. Bankvaults, I've caught it OH on every single trip since 2011 and 2xOH a handful of times. All my trips have been Aug-Sept. and TBH, given your level of surfing, you wouldn't be able to handle solid BV or Rifles. Playgrounds area, Kandui is as close to 5 start as you're going to get. Wavepark and Villas is fairly similar. Regardless, I enjoyed watching your video.

      @luckyuliveHI - fair points and yep, pumping Rifles or BV wouldn't be for me! I guess it's more of a commentary of how it's positioned because I saw a lot of rehashed videos being published pretending it was that week. Either way, wanted to give an honest opinion but regardless, loved the trip and just need to get better so that I can go in peak season!
