Hey Matt,
I might see you there in May, as far as wind, just keep other options in mind...hopefully the wind gods come through. Have been watching the graphs for the last few weeks, seems like this season is quite mixed up. Jibes is good for teaching, big, good facilities etc etc, so are a lot of others. Haven't heard great things about the Russian schools though...I believe there is a aussie run school now...if you want to stay patriotic.
Don't stay to far from the middle of the strip, you will spend most of your time on a moto.

See you there

would you guys mind letting me know what it's like as I'm going to Vietnam in October so if there's a chance of wind and a kite then I'll haul my gear over there at the risk of frustrating my travel friend who doesn't kite!!
Thanks!

Thanks all - you really are a good helpful bunch...no matter what those other people say!!!

I took some people to Mui Ne in June two years ago. It was prety good. Im not sure if we were lucky with the wind or if it was allways good at that time of year. We were there for 11 days and probaly averaged 3 hours of wind out of 7 days. Sometimes the wind would come before rain squall, or after, sometimes all day... it was really strange. But it was windy! The sea that you kite in is like Port philip bay (if you know it) ..bumpy with small wind waves (not the easiest for beginners) but there are some awesome people at airwaves (the Aussie one) and the "beachboys' do everything for you, right down to rigging your kite. if you end up down wind they come and get you....sweet!
We were staying in the hotel associated with airwaves and it was beautiful. only about $40/night, expensive for vietnam but cheap for us, pool, aircon,great service etc...
Bottom line, its pretty good. if there isnt any wind theres plenty to do and the people are really nice.

good luck.
