While there's the world renowned hot spot, Mui Ne, which we've written extensively about, here are four alternative picks for some awesome kitinh sessions in Vietnam.

Phu Quy Island: A Hidden Kitesurfing Paradise

Adding to Vietnam's kitesurfing allure, Phu Quy Island is a hidden gem in the South China Sea. Known for its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and reliable winds, Phu Quy Island is an emerging destination on Vietnam's kitesurfing map. Reachable by boat, during a trip from 4 to 6 hours depending if you take the fast boat or the slow one, the spot is really windy kitespot. Winter winds blow generally between 25 and over 40 kts, while in summer the average wind speed is 20 kts. Be sure to pack extra food and water in case you get stuck there for longer than expected, which happens when there's too much wind for boats.
