Beng Bengs

Mentawai, Indonesia
🪸Sharp reef🏝️Remote

Beng Bengs is the friendly left-hander sitting just up the channel from Macaronis, offering a refreshing counterpoint to its world-famous neighbor. Where Maccas is a precise, hollow machine, Beng Bengs is more forgiving—a rippable wall with occasional cover-up sections that welcomes progressive surfing and experimentation. When the Macaronis lineup is stacked with chargers, Beng Bengs provides breathing room and quality waves that are often overlooked. It's become a favorite among Mentawai regulars who know that scoring uncrowded perfection is just a short paddle away.
