Surfing, a sport for adventurous people

With a long, windy coastline, Vietnam becomes an ideal location for sea sports, especially windsurfing. Surfing is a very popular sport in European countries. 

Although it was introduced to our country a long time ago, this adventure sport has only really gained attention and love since international windsurfing tournaments were held in Vietnam. Not only does it exercise, windsurfing is also a new experience for those who love thrills in Vietnam. 

Surfing Surfing is one of the forms of surfing that does not use any supporting equipment other than a surfboard. On a board about 2 meters long, the player stretches out to sea and paddles with his own hands. At the point where the big wave rolls onto the shore, the player stands up and uses board control skills to surf on top of the wave. As a sport that requires technique, surfers are mainly professional athletes. 

However, if you want to try the feeling of riding on the waves, Da Nang beach is a great place for first-time surfers. The waves here are not too big but enough for you to try the feeling of riding on a silver wave. Paddleboarding Compared to surfing, paddleboarding is somewhat simpler and easier to play. A newbie can completely master a paddleboard after just a few hours of practice. Thanks to the paddle, participants can travel longer distances and play on many different water surfaces such as bays and calm lakes, and even go over waterfalls. Paddle surfboards are considered the origin of modern surfing, now returning with a new look. 

Although quite similar to rowing boats, inflatable boats and kayaks, paddleboards are lighter and more expensive. Therefore, although quite popular in the world, in Vietnam, paddleboard rental services are almost non-existent. If you are an enthusiast and have the means, you have to spend from 200 - 400 USD to own a paddleboard. Windsurfing With this sport, players use a board with a sail attached to it thanks to the force of the wind to surf on the sea surface. To be able to master the sail, players must have time to practice. 

When you are not used to being ahead of the curve and keeping up with the waves and wind, it will be normal to fall into the sea, hit your head on the mast, and suffer severe pain from having to bend and endure the blows of the water. When mastering the skills and rhythmically combining body movements to sail on the waves, players will easily be fascinated and want to conquer one challenge after another. Windsurfers vary widely from professional, semi-professional to amateur, depending on the waves and wind. 

The beaches in Binh Thuan and Nha Trang are the most "packed" and convenient places for windsurfing. In addition, you can also try the feeling of surfing with the wind at Dai Lai Lake, Vinh Phuc or Cat Ba Island, Hai Phong. Kite surfing This is also a sport that uses wind power to ride on waves but instead of a sail, players use a specialized kite. Mui Ne beach is windy and warm all year round, making it an ideal place for kite surfing lovers. Not only attractive to professional "boarders", Mui Ne is also a suitable place for you to practice your first kitesurfing exercises. Because here there is not only a surfboard rental service but also a team of enthusiastic and professional instructors. Surfing with a canoe Compared to other windsurfing sports, canoe surfing is the easiest sport to play. Not thanks to the waves or wind, the surfboard relies on the traction of the canoe. 

However, to participate, players still need to take a basic course to keep their balance on the water. After fastening the life jacket, placing your feet in a straight line on a long board, holding on to the canoe's rope, controlling the board in a zigzag pattern, you will leave a giant white wall of water behind. 

Currently, this sport is quite popular on many beaches across the country. Particularly in Ho Chi Minh City, you can watch performances and participate in windsurfing by canoe in Thanh Da area, Binh Thanh district, along the Saigon River.
