When we decided to create our kitesurfing school in Vietnam far from Europe’s winter, we took into account a number of options to choose from among several countries. Different factors which would make of this decision the best and the most successful in every way.

After analyzing all that factors, it was decided to reward the light and medium winds option, 12 to 20 knots, and the flat water conditions needed for the best outcome of our kitesurfing lessons

Considering as well, the possibility for more advanced raiders which may prefer kitesurfing in waves which can be found not far from our kitesurfing school spot


The answer to all these requirements was the city of Vung Tau, situated 125 kilometers southeast of Ho Chi Minh city.
