About Me
I'm Ivan, a free surfer residing in Katiet, Mentawai. I'm situated in the Lances Right/Hollow Trees area on the southern peninsula of Sipora Island. Having spent ample time here, I've gained insights into the Mentawai region, allowing me to predict the optimal waves for your surfing experience. While swells and winds are crucial for ideal surfing conditions, understanding which swell direction suits each wave is the real challenge.
Before settling in Katiet, I extensively traveled the Mentawais, accumulating valuable experience in organizing surf trips. Along with my girlfriend, we own and operate a surfhouse, assisting guests with travel arrangements, area exploration, surf guiding, and coordinating day trips to nearby waves. Whether you prefer land accommodation or a boat trip, I can help you find options within your budget. If you're interested, feel free to reach out for more details
