If you’ve been on a boat trip to the Mentawai’s, there’s a chance you’ve stayed on the Mangalui. The charter boat, designed by Matt Cruden and Greg Spindler, has been feeding tube hungry travelling surfers across the Ments and neighbouring islands since 1996. It’s played host to a number of Tracks boat trips throughout the years and each season they welcome a variety of pro surfers who are happy to put their trust in its Captain to feed their appetite.

When the Rusty crew boarded the vessel, with the hopes of filming for their latest movie, the assignment was simple; take us to get tubed. It’s safe to say, the boys running the Mangalui did exactly that. Rusty team rider Ollie Henry has also packed a bunch of the footage into his latest edit ‘All Ollie Adventures ep 2: Mentawais Boat Trip’.

Here’s what he had to say about the trip:

“To kick off this series again I thought it would be cool to start with this boat trip we did for the Rusty film ‘REVIVAL’ that’s just been released. At the time we didn’t know what we were doing with the footage so we made a youtube video. We ended up saving the footage and made REVIVAL. Now that has dropped we made some tweaks to the original edit and here we are.

“This was my first trip to the Mentawai’s and I had a blast, the zone is crazy. We lucked into really good waves which can be hard when you book a boat trip 6 months in advance and can’t see the swells. Luckily for us we were onboard the Mangalui and Captain Lip had us on all the best spots the whole trip! Cheers to the lads on the trip, I had a ripper time and looking forward to the next one! Stayed tuned for more Adventure clips this year.”
