Qué cubre este vídeo
A crew sailing the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia coordinates a three-surf day, navigating between anchorages to find waves protected from 10-to-15-knot headwinds. The crew anchors in deep water, ranging from 20 to 25 meters, requiring 60 to 70 meters of chain to ensure security.1:48 During transit between surf breaks, the crew monitors wind conditions and adjusts sail trim to maintain speeds of approximately 6 knots at a 120-degree wind angle.20:16 When arriving at a new break, the crew studies the lineup and set patterns before deploying the tender.13:14 The day concludes with a sunset surf session in low-light conditions, which complicates photography from the tender.24:26 The crew maintains a routine of early morning departures, fishing for wahoo and trevally, and baking bread while underway to maximize time in the water.
