South Pagai (Indonesian: Pagai Selatan) is one of the Mentawai Islands off the west coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. It is south of North Pagai (or Pagai Utara) Island. The September 2007 Sumatra earthquakes were located near here, producing coastal uplift, enlarging nearby islands and even produced 6 new ones.〔 (Southern Sumatra Earthquake in 2007, coastal change, GSI )〕 The October 2010 Sumatra earthquake also struck of its southwest coast, causing a tsunami. == References == Surf Breaks: South Pagai and its surrounding outer islands host overall what many feel are the highest quality, and hands down most consistent surf breaks of the Mentawai Islands and even Indonesia. The surf breaks in this region were the most affected during he 2007 seismic event. Where the reefs raised around 6ft in the southernmost tip of the Mentawais. Due to this, the surf breaks were altered and subsequently increased or decreased in quality, and even a few new spots were created. All but a few of the breaks in the South Pagai region are arguably World Class on a consistent basis. The breaks in the area include, (but are not limited to): "Roxy's Right" (AKA Coldsprings), "Rag's Left", "Rag's Right", "Buddha's Left", "Thunders Left", "Thunders Right", "Yellowstones Left and Right"(aka "IDK's" aka "Dracula's"), "Bangkok's Left", "Lighthouse Rights", "McFrights Left" (aka "Hole"), "Moots", "Sneaky Peak", "Meat Locker"....and more. Breaks are currently accessible by surf charter boat only, and due to the distance required to travel to the South Pagai region,they are frequented by less operators. An eco-friendly surf resort (Southern Mentawai Outpost ) is reported to be built in 2014, in the South Pagai region based at the ultra consistent and high quality break "Thunders", which many surfers report to be one of the most consistent and highest quality break at all sizes in the archipelago of Indonesia. 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South Pagai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
