Overview

A True Mentawai Surf Experience
Ombak Kabau offers private, all-inclusive surf charters through the Mentawai Islands. From airport pickup to daily surf guidance, meals, accommodation, and transport — everything is taken care of so you can focus on surfing world-class waves in one of the most remote regions on earth.

Why Surf With Ombak Kabau
Private surf charter — no crowded boats, access to multiple zones and wave options, and experienced Mentawai crew ensuring expert surf guidance. Comfortable onboard accommodation allows you to rest between sessions, while flexible itineraries adapt to swell and weather conditions, maximizing your surf experience.

Whether you’re chasing barrels, learning about local surf culture, or simply enjoying the pristine environment, this Mentawai adventure combines world-class waves, cultural immersion, and a deep connection with nature. It’s more than a surf trip — it’s an unforgettable journey into one of the last true surfing paradises on earth.

The Boat

Ombak Kabau is a purpose-built Mentawai surf charter vessel designed for comfort, safety, and true access to remote breaks. At the heart of the boat is a large open sun deck — a space for morning stretches and yoga, post-surf recovery, slow afternoons between sessions, and cold beers at sunset as the boat settles at anchor.

Spacious deck areas, relaxed living spaces, and reliable tenders for fast access to the waves make Ombak Kabau more than transport — it’s your floating base in the Mentawai Islands.

History of Ombak Kabau

Ombak Kabau was built in 2006 by “Edi Om”, one of the pioneers of the surf charter business in the Mentawai islands. Originally designed for Mentawai charters, the vessel received a new hull in 2019, and a full refurbishment of the entire boat in 2022.
