Surf Sanctuary

Your exclusive

La Isla is conveniently located near some of the world’s most renowned reef surf breaks, offering sometime uncrowded sessions and consistent, world-class waves.

The surf around the Central Mentawai area offers a variety of spots and setups perfect for surfers of every level.

While many spots are world-class, offering a challenge when bigger swells hit the reefs, smaller days provide opportunities for less advanced surfers.

There’s always a wave for everyone, regardless of the season.

The area is known for its predominant lefts, complemented by a few exceptional right-handers.

Ride the waves


Surf can get crowded sometimes, but the vibe is always right. If you approach the lineup with patience and respect and follow the surf guides' safety guidelines or recommendations, you're sure to have a great time surfing here.

We recommend preparing physically in advance for your surf trip. The better your physical shape and stamina, the more enjoyable your time on the lineup will be.

We also offer daily pre-surf yoga stretching sessions to help you get ready.

Soul surfing… that’s us.

Exploration Vehicles

Ultimate Surf


At La Isla we have a fleet of three aluminum boats designed and crafted by Etamax Sumatra.

A company with years of experience in the Mentawai Islands supplying the local surf industry with excellent quality boats crafted to engage on fun cruising and surf exploration. 

Our two small aluminum boats, the 140L and 140L HD can take 2 - 6 passengers and our bigger aluminum craft, the 7.2 m Maxcraft, can take 4 -12 passengers to the surf with comfort, speed and style.

Surfboards and Gear

The surf in the area offers a wide range of possibilities, with wave setups changing significantly depending on the swell size, wind, and direction.

The ideal board size will vary based on your size and skill level.

We recommend a good all-around board for average days and a step-up or hybrid surfboard for the better days. If the swell gets serious, a proper gun is a smart choice.

On bigger days, extra volume is always appreciated—you don’t want to be under-gunned when the conditions heat up.

Board snaps are common here, so bringing a backup is always a wise idea.
