Shyama Designs | The Antidepressant | Tyler Warren

The Tracks 2019 Ride Guide Mentawais presented by AirAsia: Our tropical test-pilots Tyler Warren, Robbie Rickard, Kolton Sullivan and Todd Rosewall, carved, slashed and trimmed their way across a plethora of set-ups, riding surfboards crafted by 20 of Australia’s best shapers. Each evening, the crew would summarise their findings while re-hydrating on the splendid drinking deck that overlooks the water at John’s Place. Thanks to our experienced guide, Cahn, we scored different waves every day, subjecting the shapes to a range of different situations. By the end of the trip, the boards were like new best friends and John’s Place had become a Nirvana we never wanted to leave.

The reviews are intended to point you in the right direction when it comes to making your next investment in foam and fibreglass. It really was a brilliant assembly of boards and we’re fairly certain there is something in there for you. Thanks to AirAsia for transporting our team and craft safely to the Mentawai Islands. Huge thanks to Lachlan “Peanut” McKinnon for filming and editing the clips. Photos by the legendary Simon Williams. http://www.johnsplacementawai.com/
