just a regular 40-something Korean guy (warehouse biz, nothing exciting) and spend Oct-Dec in Da Nang, Vietnam. surf season goes thru Feb, but i fly home to ski in Jan.

unlike Yangyang Korea, Bali or La Union PH (only other places i’ve bodyboarded) everyone here surfs early, like 6AM early. mornings are glassy, afternoons are onshore literally every day, and from 9am the sun takes it personally.

water’s warm all year. western guys always go shirtless, i just wear a rashguard, nobody owns a wetsuit here(maybe some do).

tons of space. best spot is in front of Coco Surf Shop w/ like 10-20 surfers but i sit further down bc i dont wanna get speared by a surf board. waves are pretty much the same tbh. not many Bali-style peelers but not all closeouts either, sit near the end of a wide section and u do get some long rides.

its a bit lonely. i sometimes see 2-3 other bodyboarders ride finless straight in on the small stuff, nobody’s out in the lineup but me.

tldr. not worth flying from US or EU just for this, but if u happens to be here, maybe pack ur board n fins. thru Feb, its really good.

Avoid this site. Tried to buy a pair of fins for a suspiciously good price - and they have since tried to add my credit card to their Apple Pay, Google Pay etc.
