Anyone been - looks like there's 3 or 4 kitesurf resorts there - any recommendeations?

What about the wind at this time of year?

Or does anbyone know anywhere else in SE Asia good for wind right now?

Hey - Yeah - mui ne is a great place for kiting. I stayed at Full Moon Resort. Paid about 50 bucks Aussie a night. Ate on the street restaurants about 5 dollars a meal.

Wind comes up between November and February. I was there in February for 2 weeks. There was a period of 4 non windy days and then the others were bloody windy. Comes up at about 7am in the morning as North East. You'll be woken by the palm fronds. By the time you've eaten by 8.30 it will be about 15 knots. You'll want to do you're kiting by about 3pm because after this it hovers around 30-35knots and gets rather choppy.

The beach at Full Moon is very good for kiting. There is a safety hazard at full tide because there isn't much room for launch and land so have a buddy. Watch out for the Germans and the Russians in particular - they are a dangerous mob. Didn't give a frig about safety to themselves and others.

A particularly great experience was kiting from Full Moon down to the Novatel about 8km down the beach around a few headlands. You get to kite around some fishing ports and some great scenary. A taxi back from the Novatel was dirt cheap.

Also, if you hire a scooter (30 dollars full day), you can go up to the North around the Red Sand Dunes and further. There were some good looking spots around there too.

In all, was a great trip.

cool thx
so Mui Ne it is not then until Nov

in the meantime I have a week off next week and must find some decent wind

kites aren't super cheap in vietnam for some weird reason are they..?

asking cause my parents are heading over there tomorrow morning for a month, they could bring me back more than a crappy t-shirt.
