The Pacific roars along Vietnam's central shoreline and the morning lineup along Da Nang and Hoi An feels alive: low, glassy waves pushing toward sandy shallows, fishermen untangling nets behind you, and a humid breeze that lifts the salt from the sea. A surf class here places you in that moving scene—on a softboard, paddling into shoulder-high breaks while an instructor times the push that turns a flat paddle into forward motion.
