MJ Hits Kandui Surf Resort with Surfing Magazine

Recently, Mikala Jones visited the Kandui Surf Resort in the Mentawai Islands for a two week trip with Surfing Magazine. This trip was for the upcoming Surfing Magazine Surfboard Issue. The idea was to bring 5 surfers, 5 shapers and a boat load of boards to test on a sick barreling wave in Indo. The cast consisted of Mikala Jones and Glen Pang, Phil MacDonald and Phil Byrne, Josh Kerr and Rusty, Eric Geiselman and Greg Geiselman and Pat O’Connell and Timmy Patterson.

Each rider had each of their shapers build 6 or more boards for them to test. Mikala had up to 8 different types of boards. Everything from 4 fins to the new TL2 boards. The location allowed for all the riders and shapers to immerse themselves in the discussion of board design while actively testing those designs in perfect Indo waves.

Mikala Jones had nothing but high praises for the surf resort. Mikala stated “The Kandui Resort is Sick. Good food, good people and sick pits. The Mentawais are a beautiful place with some of the best surf in the world.” You can find out more about the Kandui resort on their website by Clicking Here.
