Vietnam plans to hold its first international surfing tournament off the stretch of sand once popular with American soldiers during the Vietnam War, a newspaper reported Saturday.

Organizers expect the Oct. 4-11 World Qualifying Series event to attract more than 100 professional surfers from as many as 20 countries, the official newspaper Vietnam News said. - Associated Press
