About Good Times
Good Times est un récif de Mentawai au nom approprié qui offre exactement cela — des vagues agréables et décontractées avec beaucoup d'espace pour s'amuser. Les surfeurs intermédiaires apprécieront la forme indulgente de la vague et ses murs constants qui permettent un surf fluide et expressif. Elle manque de l'agressivité brute des spots plus lourds de l'archipel, ce qui en fait un choix idéal pour s'échauffer ou se détendre. Une vague fiable et agréable qui déçoit rarement.
Local knowledge
Bien qu'elle soit plus indulgente que la plupart des récifs des Mentawai, la plateforme de corail sous Good Times est peu profonde à marée basse et suffisamment tranchante pour causer de réels dégâts en cas de chute — des chaussons valent la peine d'être envisagés. Faites attention au courant du chenal qui longe le récif lors de la montée et de la descente de la marée, et gardez un œil sur le trafic maritime car les navires de charter et les taxis aquatiques passent régulièrement dans la zone d'ancrage.
Good Times est accessible uniquement par bateau, atteinte par une courte balade en annexe depuis votre charter ou votre bateau de croisière ancré à proximité — il n'y a pas d'accès par la plage ou la terre depuis les îles ici. Pagayez par le chenal sur le bord du récif pour éviter de rayer le corail vivant ; le même chenal est votre route la plus sûre pour revenir au bateau.
Un shortboard polyvalent dans la gamme de 6'0"–6'4" convient parfaitement aux murs ludiques de la vague lors d'une houle standard, vous donnant suffisamment de mousse pour générer de la vitesse à travers ses sections ouvertes. Lors de journées plus petites et plus faibles, optez pour un fish ou un hybride pour plus de puissance de pagayage et de fluidité.
mellow — relaxed vibe.

Surfing in Mentawai
Full Mentawai surf guide →If there's one name that makes surfers go quiet and start saving, it's the Mentawai. This remote archipelago of more than 70 islands sits off the west coast of Sumatra, fully exposed to raw Indian Ocean swell, and it has earned its reputation as one of the most concentrated, high-quality wave zones on Earth.
✈️Getting there
All routes run through Padang, the port city in West Sumatra. Fly into Padang's Minangkabau International Airport (PDG), usually via Jakarta, or via Kuala Lumpur or Singapore on regional carriers.
🛵Getting around
The Mentawai are about boats, not roads. Once you arrive, your daily transport to the waves is by boat — either the liveaboard itself or the resort's tenders and speedboats running surfers out to the breaks.
🌤️Climate & season
The Mentawai are equatorial, hot and humid year-round, with water warm enough for boardshorts or a thin top (roughly 27–29°C). There's no real winter — just wetter and drier patterns.
