Dancing on the waves

      The powerful winds and waves in Mui Ne during this time of year provide ideal conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing while vacationing at the renowned resort village in the central province of Binh Thuan.
The turquoise waters of Mui Ne these days are packed with Vietnamese and foreign holidaygoers lying on boards awaiting the perfect wave to dance and twist them to shore.
Kitesurfing is ideal for those who want a large controllable “kite” propelling them across the water in the style of wave riding, cruising, jumping and freestyle.
Despite their differences, both sports give riders the unforgettable feeling of breaking waves and steering with the wind.
Kitesurfing and windsurfing can be hazardous to both participants and bystanders so it is essential for beginners to take lessons from certified instructors. Lessons cover various skills such as controlling, standing and sliding on the board for windsurfing and launching, flying and landing for kitesurfing.
Windsurfing and kitesurfing equipment and lessons are available at Bamboo Village and other resorts in Mui Ne. Surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons are priced at US$35, while equipment rental starts at US$3. Additional fees will apply to windsurfers and kitesurfers who require additional assistance.
