Nagari Silabu


The Mentawai Islands off the coast of West Sumatra offer some of the best waves to surf on the planet. Five surf resorts and one surf camp are located in the Northern region closest to Padang while Macaronis Resort in Silabu is the only surf resort operational in Southern Mentawai located central to  a dozen quality surf breaks.
In all tides and almost in any wind conditions, Silabu has a reputation as being the most smackable on-shore wave to surf in the world and it is popular with both intermediate and experienced surfers.
On 25th October 2010, Marcaroni resort was hit by tsunami of earthquake and destructed by the waves.

Silabu has lagoons, as well as surf sites with high and wild waves.
It's no wonder it has previously been officially voted the 'funnest wave to surf in the world'.
Silabu is one of some nagaris situated in Kecamatan Pagai Utara, Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai, West Sumatera.
Other nagaris in Pagai islands are :
Saumanganyak, Betumonga, Bulasat, Sinaka, Malakopa, Makalo, Sikakap, Muara Taikako, Matobe.
