Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 12-17m kites to handle the 12.2kt average winds with ability to upsize for lighter days; use a twin-tip or directional board suited for choppy water and wave riding. Consider a freestyle board for lighter wind sessions.

Clothing · A 2-3mm rashguard or thin wetsuit works year-round given Vietnam's tropical climate; sun protection and a hat are essential due to intense UV exposure. Water temperature stays warm (24-28°C) throughout the year.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect fishing communities and avoid launching near their nets; keep distance from other water sports users and maintain awareness of crowded tourist areas. Follow local guide recommendations and stay in designated kiting zones.
