Kitesurfing is no stranger to Vietnamese people when it was introduced to Binh Thuan and Ninh Thuan more than 15 years ago, but perhaps it is still a sport for foreigners.
The wind season here lasts and is stable from November to April along with long beaches and big waves. In winter, foreign visitors to Binh Thuan are very crowded and the beach area is also full of guests playing sea sports. Binh Thuan beach is windy, waves are big, so playing Pub or kayaking is not as suitable as the beaches in Phu Quoc.
The equipment needed for kitesurfing includes Kite, bar control, harness and board. For those who have mastered the sport, you can simply go to the club and rent clothes to play. As for those who have never known, are healthy and want to try, please spend a little time learning. For people who don't know how to swim like me or for children who want to try, they can play with the same coach. There are many paragliding clubs that have sprung up here with short courses. It only takes about a few hours, and you can already try it out with professional coaches. C2Sky Kitesurfing Vietnam, Vietnam Kiteboarding School, Jibe's Beach Club and many other clubs throughout Binh Thuan have instructed thousands of students to know and love this interesting game.
To play kitesurfing, you have to learn how to play. The first is to know how to stand on the board with both legs fixed on 2 board positions. Belts and control bars are wrapped around the body. The guide will show you how to hold the controls, adjust the wind direction as well as how to stand firmly on the board. Once you understand how to play, you can try it.
Although it has been introduced as a game for all ages, as long as you want, in order to play kitesurfing, you must know how to swim and be healthy, love adventure sports. Kitesurfing requires physical strength and must master the technique, otherwise, you will drink full of seawater or get injured a lot.
When all the items are enough, the parachute will be helped by the coach. Even if flying with the wind, players will use the wind to glide on the waves or fly out of the water, acrobatic in the air... The wind is very strong when the parachute wings are stretched in the sky, the player must firmly grasp the rope, stretch and hold on and control the paraglider above and the skateboard under the feet.
In the sky, the parachute wings fluttered endlessly, and the sun was bright. On the ground, the surfboard glides on the waves, the salty sea water burns his face. Occasionally, the skis flew out of the air and the skater flipped around. To do these beautiful movements is not simple. The parachute can fly too high, pulling the player up and free-dropping the player into the sea when you don't have a firm grip on the parachute. But if you have played, it will be very good. The feeling of gliding across the vast sea with sea water, wind, and sunshine is a great feeling. Sports help release energy, bring people health, and reduce stress for daily life.
A surfing lesson for beginners usually takes about 02 hours and costs about 1 million VND. The above cost includes all equipment such as boards, leashes and instructors. After the course, most of them were able to play by themselves and could rent boards to practice. The cost of renting the board will then be 150,000 VND/hour. In addition to kitesurfing, you can also learn to windsurf, sail or dive. When you come to class, remember to have the right clothes, hats, glasses and sunscreen.
With warm sunny weather and strong winds all year round, Binh Thuan is introduced by Asia One's travel site in the Top 5 "paradises" for adventure experiences in Asia, including: Kitesurfing in Mui Ne (Vietnam), Indoor skydiving in Sentosa (Singapore), snorkeling in Palawn (Philippines), conquered Everest Base Camp (Nepal), and bungee jumping in Macau (China).
