Our traveling tube hound Nate Behl sent us a nice little clip of him and a few pals enjoying some uncrowded Indo perfection.

Unfortunately, the whole COVID deal has put the entire Indonesian archipelago into some serious hurt as so much of their economy relies on tourism. Somehow, Nate slipped in back in June and scored big time while enjoying crowds, or lack thereof, of which we may never see again.

The waves of the Mentawai have to be some of the best in the world and when you get a chance like Nate did to enjoy the region with minimal crowds, you’d have to say yes to an invite.

We know we would.
