Launch notes

Tan Hai Beach offers easy, gradual entry with flat water ideal for beginners. Launch from the sandy beach during ENE or E wind directions for the cleanest conditions and smoothest water approach.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize light wind (11.2 kts avg); a twintip or beginner-friendly directional board works best in the flat water. Consider having multiple kite sizes for variable seasonal conditions.

Clothing · A 2-3mm springsuit is sufficient year-round given tropical Vietnam's warm water (25-28°C). Light rash guards provide sun protection during extended sessions.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and give way to commercial vessels; coordinate with other kiters to avoid tangled lines in the narrow launch zone. Keep sessions close to shore given the beginner-friendly nature of the spot.

Additional notes

February-March offers peak wind consistency with 66 windy days annually; plan your trip during these months. Check local weather forecasts carefully as average wind is marginal; morning sessions often provide better thermal development.
