Fly with Flyboard over the blue sea of ​​Lam Dong.

Lam Dong province is exploring the possibility of hosting the World Flyboard Championship – an extreme water sport combining technology, technique, and performance art. This is seen as a new step in the strategy to diversify marine sports tourism products, expected to boost destination promotion and attract high-end tourists.

Visitors will be able to admire a Flyboard performance with breathtaking acrobatic stunts.

A world-class sporting event.

Recently, a business proposed a plan to make Lam Dong the first locality in the country to host the World Flyboard Championship. This sport has appeared in many countries such as Qatar, Dubai, and the United States, but has never been held in Vietnam. According to the business representative, Flyboard is a sport that uses water pressure to create propulsion for athletes to fly and perform on the water's surface. If implemented, the tournament would bring together top Flyboard athletes from around the world, combined with light shows, music , and other water sports experiences. This would not only create a new highlight for cultural, sports, and tourism activities, but also contribute to promoting the image of the locality to friends and tourists both domestically and internationally.

Flyboarding is a sport that uses water pressure to generate thrust, allowing athletes to fly and perform stunts on the water's surface.

Beyond being just a performance event, the province hopes Flyboard can become the nucleus of a water sports tourism ecosystem, linked to the exploitation of natural landscapes and the development of the high-end tourism segment. According to the proposal, the event also aims to attract international media attention and increase the recognition of Lam Dong as a destination on the experiential tourism map.

This is not just a simple sport; it requires skillful technique.

The development of a new sport needs to be studied in a way that creates a synchronized ecosystem, effectively exploiting the potential and advantages of the local terrain, natural landscape, and conditions for developing water sports. This will contribute to diversifying tourism products, promoting socio-economic development, and aiming for double-digit growth in the province.

Flyboarding is gradually being recognized as a form of artistic performance at sea.

Besides being known as the "resort capital," Mui Ne is also a popular destination for water sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, SUP paddling, paragliding, and parasailing. Recently, Flyboarding – an extreme water sport – has also attracted many visitors. At Bai Rang beach in Mui Ne ward, on calm weekend afternoons, locals and tourists can often admire spectacular Flyboard performances featuring acrobatic flips and spins performed by foreign athletes.

With lights, fireworks, and Flyboard performances over the sea at night, it creates a powerful effect for both domestic and international tourists.

Art performance on the sea

Artist Tomasz Kubik – a world Flyboard champion currently active in Mui Ne and having performed numerous times in Lam Dong's blue coastal region – shared: “Having performed in many places around the world, as well as other coastal areas in Vietnam, I find Mui Ne to be a beautiful tourist destination with favorable weather to attract visitors year-round, especially those who love water sports. Therefore, I am very happy to be invited here to participate in Flyboard shows. This is not just a simple sport; it requires skillful and professional techniques with movements such as spins, dances, and acrobatics in the air…” According to artist Tomasz Kubik, along with vibrant music, lighting, fireworks, and costumes, Flyboard is truly an art form that attracts a large audience, giving tourists wonderful experiences while traveling along the coast.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy, CEO of Flyboard Mui Ne, the first and only Flyboarding facility in Lam Dong province, shared: “From a recreational sport, Flyboarding is gradually being recognized as a form of artistic performance on the sea. If properly managed and guided, this type of activity will not only contribute to revitalizing marine sports tourism but also open up opportunities to participate in festivals, cultural events, and tourism. This is the right direction for Lam Dong, a beautiful coastal province, to become not only a resort destination but also a leading marine sports destination in Southeast Asia.”

Water sports have become a strength of Mui Ne.

At a recent meeting with businesses, the provincial People's Committee leaders highly appreciated the proposal to host the World Flyboard Championship. This is considered an innovative, modern, and groundbreaking sporting event.

Flyboard (water jet skiing) was invented in 2011 by French jet ski champion Franky Zapata. The first Flyboard competition was held in 2013.
