The 2024 Vietnam Fun Cup International Windsurfing Tournament is an event that will help windsurfing in Vietnam develop rapidly and professionally at an international level. This is also an opportunity to promote the image of Binh Thuan with its strengths in tourism combined with sea sports to the world.

According to Mr. Pascal Lefebvre, Head of the Organizing Committee, we are very happy that the competition has been held again after 3 years due to the impact of the epidemic and has received great support from the local government. This year, the tournament still has the participation of professional athletes, many of whom have participated in the tournament many times. We hope that the tournament will be expanded in the following years.
