Mui Ne is quickly becoming a South East Asian Mecca for kiteboarding and windsurfing. Mui Ne has the best conditions in all of Asia for water sports because it has Asia's strongest and most consistent cross-onshore winds and the lowest rainfall in Vietnam. Every day is a perfect day. You may ask why you haven't heard of it, if it's so great? The reason is the tourism industry has only existed for about 10 years in this province. The development is new, and this best-kept secret has only just been discovered.
There are currently about 10 or so Kiteboarding centers in Mui Ne, although some are better than others, and the competition is fierce. Resorts have taken note of the popularity of the sport, and new teaching centers are bound to pop up all over the beach. Just a few years ago you might see just a couple of kites and sails on the water during an afternoon. These days it can be quite a spectacle.

Jibes/Full Moon Beach. Jibes opened in 2001 and is first and the best known Kitesurfing school in Mui Ne. Jibes and Full Moon Beach Resort are owned by Frenchmen Pascal Lefebvre and his wife, and have appeared in numerous articles in Vietnam and internationally. Jibes was the first real bar on the beach and thus drew the backpacker crowd. The Full Moon Beach Kitesurfing school is IKO certified, and boasts that its instructors can teach in nine languages. Jibes is famous for the annual Kiteboarding-Windsurfing Vietnam Fun Cup competition held at the club. The center offers a variety of water sports and is conveniently located near the Coco Internet Cafe and both Hanh Cafe and TM Brothers tour companies
