Two years ago videographer Andy Potts was fortunate enough to be staying at Macaronis when a few strangers rolled into town:

"I was lucky enough to sit in on ten days of epic waves with Jack Freestone, Mitch Coleborn, Noa Deane and Chippa Wilson at Macaronis a few years back. The crew were on location for their first stop in the making of Kai Neville's 'Cluster'."

"One day in particular had perfect six foot hollow offshore barrels reeling into the bay and everyone stepped it up a notch. There were a good dozen surfers on hand to surf the pulsing swell however it would be Jack, Mitch, Noa and Chippa that would steal the show."

Looking forward to this season, The Perfect Wave travel company have started roling out their packages. Whether you want to stay on a boat or land camp they've got a mix of locations (and prices!) to choose from. Visit their Mentawai info page.
