Top 5 Reasons Surfers Like Jesse Mendes Love Boat Trips to Indonesia

1. Unmatched Access to Perfect, Remote Waves
For pros like Body Glove’s Jesse Mendes, boat trips unlock world-class waves far beyond the crowded beaches. From Mentawai slabs to Sumbawa points, the ability to chase swells across the Indonesian archipelago means scoring pristine surf every day.

2. Surf More, Stress Less
Life on a boat means no long drives, flexibility to avoid crowded lineups, and no schedule—just the freedom to wake up with the sunrise, surf all day, and relax in comfort. It’s the ultimate escape, and for Jesse, it’s the perfect way to stay in rhythm with the ocean.

3. The True Surf Safari Lifestyle
Boat trips are more than surf missions—they’re about bonding with your crew, exploring tropical islands, and living simply. Jesse’s go-to surf essentials? His Body Glove wetsuit top, boardshorts, and sun-protective gear to handle long days in the elements.

4. Constantly Scoring the Best Conditions
Indonesia delivers consistent swell and offshore winds during peak season. With a boat as a mobile base, Jesse and team follow the forecast to be in the right place at the right time—maximizing surf time and minimizing crowds.

5. Culture, Nature, and Adventure
Boat trips in Indo aren’t just about the waves. Jesse soaks up the rich island culture, dives into crystal-clear reefs, and embraces the raw beauty of the tropics. Every trip deepens his connection to the ocean and the surfing lifestyle Body Glove was built for.
