You seriously do not know what you are talking about! Have you got any idea of how big Indonesia is? Political instability in Indonesia? Oh dear...you need to learn about geography and recent history. Yes, there were terrorism attacks recently in Indonesia, but every countries in this planet face the threat of terrorism these days. And just because Padang is unfortunate to be located on the tectonic plate, it does not mean that the whole of Indonesia is prone to earthquake and tsunami. Indonesia is big, and anybody should do some research before going there, so you know which part of the country is risky, and which part is not. By the way, Padang is not a surfing destination at all. Padang is the capital of West Sumatera, where some surfing spots like Mentawai island and Siberut island are under Padang's administration. For the time being, choose other provinces if you wanna surf in Indonesia.
