Mui Ne is quickly becoming a South East Asian Mecca for
kiteboarding and windsurfing. Mui Ne has the best conditions in
all of Asia for water sports because it has Asia's strongest and
most consistent cross-onshore winds and the lowest rainfall in
Vietnam. Every day is a perfect day. You may ask why you haven't
heard of it, if it's so great? The reason is the tourism
industry has only existed for about 10 years in this province.
The development is new, and this best-kept secret has only just
been discovered.
The area is often referred to by the water sports industry as "Mui
Ne Bay," although the bay is more correctly the "Bay of Phan
Thiet" (Phan Thiet is the provincial capital of Binh Thuan
Province and lies in the center of the bay). Depths in the bay
are irregular, and a bank with depths of less than 5.5m, extends
1.5 miles west of Mui Ne. The true name of Mui Ne Beach is
actually "Rang" but the tourist industry refers to it as Mui Ne,
after the village on the point.
There are currently about a dozen Kiteboarding centers in Mui Ne
and the competition is fierce. Resorts have taken note of the
popularity of the sport, and new teaching centers are bound to
pop up all over the beach. Just a few years ago you might see
just a couple of kites and sails on the water during an
afternoon. These days it can be quite a spectacle. Not all kite
centers are created equal. There are a lot of inexperienced
amateurs with fly-by-night instructors opening new centers at
resorts every season...
