How We Research: Mentawai Surf Holiday Editorial Team
Everything on Mentawai Surf Holiday is written and maintained by the Mentawai Surf Holiday Editorial Team, a working group rather than a named person. We check seasons, fees, transport and price ranges against public sources, date the figures we publish, mark anything unconfirmed, and correct pages when readers or operators show us something has changed.
What we cover
The site concentrates on surf trip planning in the Mentawai Islands: seasons and swell (season guide), the breaks (best surf spots), getting there (transport guide) and where to stay (surf resorts). Keeping to that range is what lets us notice when something changes.
How we check facts
- Seasons and wave size are described as typical ranges from long-term patterns, never as forecasts.
- Prices are published operator rates shown as ranges with the year they apply to, never as a quote.
- Fees and rules, such as the regional surf levy, are checked against the regulation or official notices where available, and flagged when collection methods are changing.
- Transport details note that ferry timetables change and should be confirmed before booking.
Claims we don’t make
We don’t present anyone as an expert, licence holder or veteran, and we don’t publish star ratings, awards or guest quotes we cannot verify. We don’t own or operate resorts or boats, so we never describe a resort or boat as ours. Read more about this guide.
Report an error
If a page doesn’t match what an operator or official office told you, let us know through the contact page. We will check it and update the page and its “Updated” date.
