Awera Island Surf Camp
Trip fit
About this camp
Awera Island Surf Camp sits on Pulau Pototogat in the Mentawai Islands, West Sumatra, positioned directly in front of the break known as Suicides, roughly 150 m from the channel. The location gives guests the option to paddle out at any point during the day without depending on a boat for every session.
What makes it different
The camp sits directly in front of the Suicides break, allowing guests to paddle out independently at any hour. The head guide has accumulated over 200 boat trips of experience working exclusively in this section of the Mentawais.
Skill level
The breaks in this zone, including Telescopes and Scarecrows, suit intermediate to advanced surfers comfortable on hollow reef waves. Beginners would find the wave catalogue here too challenging for learning fundamentals.
