CAMP OPERATOR
Beng Bengs Surf Camp is owned by myself, Cristian Lovaglio, and my friend Massimiliano Vincenti, both of us are from Rome,Italy, and both of us have been brought here on this remote and wonderful place by the love and passion for surfing.... I was peacefully living my life and my job in Italy, travelling from time to time to feed my passion for surfing,until once day of about 15 years ago, I went to canary Island where I met Massimo.
I used to go back there every year, until during one of my holidays there, after a sunset surfing session,we stopped to drink few beers, maybe they were more than just a few, maybe was due the good session we had, I don't know what happened that day but we ended up to plan this extraordinary Indonesian adventure.... So, in the next two years, I quit my job and we're still here,ready and happy to share our dreams with other people and dreamers.

MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ
SURF CONDITIONS
Seasonal conditions
Water temperature is around 28 and 32 degrees all year round
Crowd factor and local people
The season goes from March until October, usually is not so crowded but,when the best known waves of the area are breaking, I mean spots like Kandui or Hideaway or Rifles, it is pretty obvious that most of the people want to go there but, most of the time,especially when there are many waves breaking at the same time, so that there is a bigger choice of spots, it is easy to surf with not much crowd.
JOURNEYJOURNEY
Ways to get to the camp
To get to the camp,first of all,you have to arrive to Padang(PDG), West Sumatra,it is reachable from Jakarta(CGK) or Kuala Lumpur(KUL), once you get there you have to take a ferry heading to Siberut, the ferry leaves from Padang three times per week at 7am,this is why it is always mandatory to spend the first night in Padang and then leave the day after while,on the way back, it is highly recommended to sleep another night in Padang or,at least, choose the last flight of the night, however it is always good to keep in mind the schedule of the ferry:
