Watersports in Mui Ne, Vietnam
Vietnam's wind corridor — where red dunes meet relentless side-shore breeze
Mui Ne is a coastal town in southern Vietnam that has become Southeast Asia's premier kite and windsurf destination. From November to April the northeast monsoon channels through the coastline, producing remarkably consistent 18–30 knot side-shore winds. The bay has a mix of flat-water zones and small wave sections, and the warm water and low cost of living make it a magnet for riders on extended trips.
