Kitesurfing

9th April 2010 We had planned for our Friday in Mui Ne to be a day of relaxation. Ed was going to do some more kitesurfing and I was going to relax with a good book before enjoying a 2 and a half hour spa package in the afternoon. Plans change. Firstly, another day with very little wind meant Ed was beach bound again.

Just as I seemed to be getting it, something would happen and I’d do the wrong thing to correct it meaning a lot of ground time for the kite! ...

5th April 2010 Kitesurfing was another of the activites we were keen to try when we came travelling and where better than the kitesurfing capital of Vietnam, Mui Ne. Mui Ne Beach is a popular tropical beach. Strong sea breezes make it very popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing and with an average temperature of 27°C, and a hot and dry climate for most of the year, so you can see that it’s quite a nice place to hang around for a while. ...
