Why Vietnam?
Vietnam has almost 2,220 kilometers of coastline. The southeast part of the country is considered one of the best kitesurfing destinations in the world!
From December to April, Vietnam has consistently strong northeast winds, with wind speeds ranging from 10 to 30 knots.
Be advised that we do not operate in the summertime due to the rainy season.
Where will we go?
Your trip will take place on the south-eastern coast of Vietnam. Depending on your tour, you will cover 90−260 kilometers on the water from Phan Rang to Vung Tau. Your family will visit beautifuls spots all along the coast.
The average distance of each downwind run is 25−40 kilometers.

Please note that you must be comfortable riding far from the coastline. Due to the coastal terrain and the tide, our riding path will sometimes be far from the coast.
There will always be 2 kite instructor guides with you on the water. Our kite guides not only accompany the group, but also will ensure your safety. In case of emergency, our guides will help you get to shore safely.

We recommend bringing 2 wing or 2 kites and 2 bars. Big repairs will not be available at all during the trip.
