For over twelve years our family has welcomed surfers to Putotogat Bay. Most of our team comes from the Mentawai Islands, and they will make you feel at home from day one.
The bay is known for its channel: boats come in and out safely in any sea. So families from the villages around build small houses here while they work their coconut and clove gardens and fish the reef.
Live alongside the locals,
without giving up any comfort.
