Choose Your Mentawai Experience
Mentawai Islands
MARCH TO NOVEMBER BODYBOARD WEEKS
The crown jewel of Indonesian bodyboarding
The Mentawais are a wave-rich paradise off Sumatra’s coast, offering some of the most consistent, high-quality bodyboarding on Earth. From hollow slabs like Rifles and Bankvaults to more forgiving walls like Pitstops and Beng Beng, this island chain delivers flawless sessions in warm, tropical perfection — day after day.
With prime swell from March to October and over 20 world-class reef breaks accessible by boat or lodge, it’s no surprise the Mentawais are a bucket-list destination for bodyboarders around the world.
At Quiver, we help you design your perfect Mentawai escape — charter, camp, or island lodge — with everything tailored to your level, pace, and riding goals.
Your trip. Your waves. Just pure bodyboarding, done right.
Not Just a Trip — A Movement.
Follow the ride. Go behind the scenes on Quiver missions. From GoPro pits to campfire yarns, reef fails to perfect rides — this is the real pulse of bodyboarding culture. Tag #QuiverTravel to get featured

Reviews from the Lineup
I’ve dreamed of the Mentawais for years. Quiver made it happen, stress-free. All I had to do was ride.
Arlo G.
The crew, the food, the waves. Nothing was left to chance. It was like a bodyboard film, but I was in it.

Every break we hit was better than the last. Quiver knew exactly where to go. Best bodyboard trip of my life.
