About Good Times
Good Times adalah nama yang tepat untuk terumbu Mentawai yang memberikan tepat itu — gelombang yang menyenangkan dan santai dengan banyak ruang untuk bersenang-senang. Peselancar menengah akan menghargai bentuk gelombang yang memaafkan dan dinding yang konsisten yang memungkinkan surfing yang mengalir dan ekspresif. Ini tidak memiliki agresi mentah dari spot-spot yang lebih berat di kepulauan, menjadikannya pilihan utama untuk pemanasan atau mendinginkan. Gelombang yang dapat diandalkan dan menyenangkan yang jarang mengecewakan.
Local knowledge
Meskipun lebih memaafkan daripada sebagian besar terumbu Mentawai, rak karang di bawah Good Times dangkal saat air surut dan cukup tajam untuk menyebabkan kerusakan nyata saat jatuh — sepatu terumbu layak dipertimbangkan. Perhatikan arus saluran yang mengalir di sepanjang terumbu saat pasang dan surut, dan perhatikan lalu lintas kapal karena kapal charter dan taksi air secara teratur melewati area berlabuh.
Good Times hanya dapat diakses dengan perahu, dicapai dengan perjalanan tender singkat dari charter atau liveaboard yang berlabuh di dekatnya — tidak ada akses pantai atau darat dari pulau-pulau di sini. Mendayung keluar melalui saluran di tepi terumbu untuk menghindari menggores karang hidup; saluran yang sama adalah rute teraman Anda kembali ke perahu.
Sebuah shortboard serbaguna dalam kisaran 6'0"–6'4" sangat cocok dengan dinding gelombang yang menyenangkan pada gelombang standar, memberi Anda cukup busa untuk menghasilkan kecepatan melalui bagian-bagian terbuka. Pada hari-hari yang lebih kecil dan lebih lemah, gunakan fish atau hybrid untuk ekstra daya dayung dan aliran.
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.
