Two Mates, One Crazy Idea
Buffalo Board Riders began with two Aussie mates, Nathan and Eddie, backpacking through Vietnam in 2022 with no real plan beyond chasing adventure.
Somewhere between motorbike trips, quiet coastal towns, and discovering hidden surf spots, the idea was born: create the kind of place travellers wish they’d found sooner — part surf crew, part adventure hub, and part community bar where everyone’s welcome.
What started as a dream is now a growing surf and travel community built around waves, adventure, and good people.
And this is only the beginning.

We surf anywhere between 30 minutes and 6 hours south of Hoi An, taking in the scenery of small fishing villages and communities untouched by tourism. In the mornings, we often have the waves to ourselves. By the afternoon, the beach comes alive with locals swimming and enjoying food with their families, it’s got a really fun, authentic vibe.
April - August, the beaches in central Hoi An are protected by the islands offshore, so they don’t get much swell. That’s why we head a little further south to spots that are more exposed to the waves, especially during surf season.
September to March is our main swell season, with waves ranging from 3 to 8 feet, great for intermediate surfers and those looking for more action. There are also plenty of beginner options.
April to August is calmer, making it ideal for beginners and longboarders. Sunny days, warm water and mellow waves.
