I’ve been surfing for some 20 years, of which 10 mostly in Indonesia, where i’m based actually. I love barrels and the Mentawai are the best place in the world for its consistency for that.

I like surfing, good waves and spend time with my friends; I guess just like any other surfer. I enjoy meeting people from the four corners of the world that come to our boats. You all have interesting stories and we all have something in common: surfing.

My aim as owner and guide of the King Millenium is that every single client leaves with good memories and having surfed the best waves of their lives. There’s nothing that makes me happier than seeing my customers frothing for the waves they’ve scored and the good times had on board.

After so many years working here, I’m confident I know where to be on any given day in order to find the best waves that suit each surfing level.

I invite you all to come and enjoy these islands and what they offer at least once in your life.
Wea!!!
