Mui Ne - Vientmams Kitesurfing Hotspot
Kitesurfing in Vietnam - Mui Ne Spot Guide by KSB Kitesurf Barcelona - Kitesurfing Barcelona
KSB organized a visit to Mui Ne. Here a tiny Spot overview.
When to go?
Best season from December to March but November to end of April is good.
Mui Ne is little village 240km north east of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). It takes about 5 hours to get there by bus. Most accommodation and restaurants are on the main beach, about 5km out of town. Nightlife is cool as there are loads of bars and discos directly on the beach and the atmosphere is casual laid back. The people in Mui Ne are a mixture of backpackers and kite surfers, although resorts with mainly Russian travellers can be found near the start of the beach.
In Mui Ne there are several spots that may be easily reached by taxi, motorbike or maybe kiting up and downwind. Here are our fave spots that are a must see if you're kiting in Mui Ne:
Mui Ne main beach (Rang Beach) :
The wind blows normally cross shore and is sort of gusty close to the beach as it passes first over the Mui Ne Peninsula. That is the reason why the conditions are best if the wind turns more onshore. There is also a gigantic shore break that makes entering and water start quite hard for for newbies. At high season it may also get crowded near to the main launching areas as for example Wax beach club, where compressors for pumping up the kite are available. The primary advantage of this spot is it's in front of the beach side accommodations and there is usually good crowd to hang around with.
Mui Ne Village:
After a 5min ride, just before getting into the hamlet you can access the beach from the road. There are not many people kiting here. Water is clean and flat, but the beach is reasonably little and the wind is affected from obstacles of Mui ne Village. There are some points with little wind like on the beach itself. Only few meters into the water the wind gets stronger. This is a total flat water spot excellent for free style. I had one of my best sessions on that spot but keep an eye out for glass and other damaging stuff on the beach and your belongings as it is just about in the village.
Malibu Beach (Hon Rom Beach) :
Malibu beach at Malibu beach resort is on the opposite side of the Mui Ne Headland. By taxi it's about 15min and $6 to get there. The wind here is not so gusty, as it comes right from the sea and is mostly also much stronger than those on the main beach. There are good waves and I really liked the onshore wind as you can just park the kite overhead and ride on the wave in both directions as there is no pull to one direction or the other. It was actually the most like surfing where all of the force is in the same direction as the wave. Only if the wind gets really powerful (above 30kn) the wave start to break to early what makes the wave riding on that spot almost impossible.
Turtle Island (Suoi Nuoc) :
It is the most distant spot from Mui Ne. A cool motorbike ride will take you about only 40 min for you to get there. After passing the red dunes you just have to follow the main street till you see the small island. It's the second bay after the Mui Ne spur and the ride is certainly worthwhile. There are white dunes that have to be crossed while walking so as to access the spot. The launching area is good and the beach is surprisingly clean. It is a beautiful place. Behind the island there's flat water but also almost no wind. Sadly, the flat water area is reduced to about 30 meters. There's a terribly strong current that makes it quite hard to stay upwind. With a bunch this spot would be terrible for beginners, but often there are only only a few kites there anyway.
Watch out for the fishing nets a little more downwind and downstream because one guy got tangled when we were kiting there. He was lucky as he could cut himself freed from the net with his line-cutter.

Round the World Journey
.
A backpack fitted with pocket(s) that are suspended on the wearer"s front side (chest) and loaded in such a way that the load in the front and the load in the back are about equal is called a bodypack. The majority of the load on a bodypack is carried by the hips.
