Indo Surf Trip Video: WavePark Mentawai Indonesia 2005.

This Mentawai Surf Trip Video was from my 2005 Trip to WavePark Mentawai of the coast of Sumatra "Sumatera" Indonesia in 2005. We stayed at the WavePark resort for 20 days and it was spectacular. You can read the full WavePark Surf Trip review on Surf Trip .com

The video was converted from a DVD, VOB to mpeg for editing which is not as straight forward as it would appear. After many hours and numerous downloaded files I got it to work! Check out the other surfing video segments on the Surf Trip Community
