A guesthouse surf camp means you stay in a local homestay-style guesthouse — private rooms, real beds, fans, mosquito nets, 3 meals with local hosts. No pool, no bar, no resort fees. You surf, you eat local food, you sleep well. Same 15+ world-class reef breaks as any premium option, at a fraction of the price.

Yes. Non-surfer companions are welcome at a reduced companion rate — they skip the daily boat sessions but enjoy all camp life: meals, island walks, snorkeling, fishing, cultural interactions. Message Andrian for the companion rate when booking.

Surfers aged 12 and above with existing experience are welcome. Non-surfing parents can join as companions at a reduced rate — enjoying island life, meals, and snorkeling while the group surfs. For younger children, contact Andrian directly to discuss suitability — the remote location, ocean conditions, and no WiFi mean careful planning is needed. Small group only: max 8 guests total.

Teens 14+ with solid surfing experience are the sweet spot. Ages 12–13 are possible for capable surfers — discuss conditions with Andrian first. Mentawai has offshore reef breaks and open ocean crossings: it rewards surfers who can handle themselves in the water. First-time surfers of any age are welcome; Johan will find beginner-friendly lineups for you.
