2024 MANGO WRAP UP
Another great year for us on the Mighty Mango, Covering the entire Mentawai and Telo Island chains and pushing just over 10,000 nautical miles on our 2024 adventures.
Words & Pics | Uncle Lip
We hosted some of the world’s best surfers like the entire billabong A-team which included Joel Parkinson making his big return to the boat, a Soli Bailey strike mission where he put together an epic team of filmers and surfers, all our loyal return guest and some new Mango virgins. Pumping maxing out tubes, epic ramps for the air guys and plenty of uncrowded fun for everyone.
Fishing was the best we have seen it in years with plenty of consistent variety.
A few calls that really prove the year what it was…
“I reckon in 10 years’ time, those sessions will be so clear in my brain.”
Shelly Simkus
“Most boat trips you’ll have those one or two days when it’s like, someone gets the wave of their life and it’s the session of the trip. We pretty much had that on the first day. Nothing mattered after that, because we all thought, If we get more, we get more, but how good’s this?”
Soli Bailey
“That’s the best curry I’ve ever had in my life.”
Joel Parkinson
“We are on the Mango boys, we will have fun regardless”

2025 travel tips from Uncle Lip
Travel light, remember you’re on a boat with your best mates, you pretty much wear two pairs of boardies for two weeks.
3 board quiver - Fun board, standard board and a board for the bigger days.
Bring a spare pair of sunnies (the amount of times I’ve seen sunnies go over board and the guest be stuck for the rest of the trip without sunnies is brutal!)
Bring a high speed hard drive with large capacity because the free photo service onboard ends up being a large file.
