Overview

Phu Quy Island is a remote island about 120 km off the coast of Binh Thuan Province. This spot on the north side of the island faces the NE monsoon winds directly from November to April, offering open ocean riding.

An intermediate spot on a remote island. The north-facing beach gets direct NE monsoon exposure with potential for waves. Sandy bottom in places with some rocky sections. Very limited infrastructure. Ferry access from Phan Thiet takes 5-6 hours. A true adventure kite destination for self-sufficient riders.
