‘Reflection’ featuring Torren Martyn is an eclectic mix of moments and highlights from a decade of travels around the world. Produced by needessentials, this short film by Ishka Folkwell, with an original soundtrack by Headland, celebrates some of the most memorable waves and adventures from feature films Calypte, Lost Track Atlantic and Lost Track New Zealand.
Macaronis Resort in the Mentawai Islands, looks and feels a bit like paradise, and the resort is hosting its intermediate surf coaching clinics for the 8th year running over 8 weeks from January 10th 2025 to March 7th 2025.
All of their surf coaches are ISA (International Surf Association) accredited, with the experience and qualifications to help you improve quickly, surf to your full potential and take on some of the worlds best waves. You can attend the course for as little as one week or the full eight weeks.
The carefully curated coaching sessions only host up to 8 surfers per coach and accommodation is limited to one surfer per room. Special guest and international surf coach, Dave Renaud will be heading up this experience. Dave is based in the UK, but regularly coaches in the Maldives. He is a Level 2 ISA surf coach, and has served as head coach for Great Britain and Team England for the past 10 years. These guys guarantee some of the best surf coaching out there!
Between January and March is a great time of year to visit the Mentawais, with very few other surfers around. Macaronis is also limiting participants to 20 surfers per week and the team make a special effort to explore neighbouring breaks. This way, guests and coaches can take turns surfing Macaronis and classic Southern Mentawai spots, ensuring the line-up always feels fresh and uncrowded.
Situated on a saltwater lagoon across the bay from the Legendary Macaronis wave, the set up is high quality comfort with the perfect activities list for any time away from the waves. You can kayak, paddle board, fish and snorkel the tropical waters. Suites are on the second floor, a few meters above sea level with open verandas and panoramic views of the ocean and saltwater lagoon.
The surf offering is an incredible experience that will make you feel like a pro. With Dave Renaud, two professional photographers, video playback and in and out of water coaching sessions you can be sure everything surfing is covered.

Also huge thanks to the musicians and record labels for allowing the usage of the incredible songs included. – @oscar.langburne
Kandui, located in the Mentawai Islands off the coast of Sumatra is widely known for its long, fast, and barreling left-handers, a magnet for travelling surfers seeking the wave of a lifetime. Both exhilarating and intimidating, breaking over a shallow coral reef, you can expect an equal share of pleasure and pain if it goes pear-shaped. This is a playground to very few, so respect the wave, the line-up and the surfers.
Hit play to see Koa Rothman rushing from Australia to Indonesia to score some of the biggest waves to hit Kandui in a decade with Eli Olson, Barron Mamia and Betet, enjoy.
‘Dreading South’ now playing, a film featuring Christian Barker, a fair-weather surfer, a swell and his battle with the cold waters of New Zealand. Hit play to watch Christian adopt a new mindset on his journey through the nearly unbearable cold (in his opinion) waters of NZ.
Featuring Wispy’s faithful NZ quiver, the 9’3” Battler, 5’8” Dually, 6’9”Vincent & 6’7”Mid Twin.
