Otherwise a traditional fishing village, Mui Ne has become internationally renowned as Vietnam's Kite and Surfing Mecca. Remarkably, Mui Ne has retained it's small-town character, and its beaches are uncrowded, making it an absolute joy to practice water sports here.

Our training program offers detailed, high quality and comprehensive lessons, overseen by IKO-certified instructor João Virgilio. We especially emphasize safety, and you’ll learn everything you need to know to be confident on the board, and therefore maximize your fun.

Kite-surfing is challenging, both mentally and physically. Having a strong foundation in safety and technique is essential to gaining proficiency at this sport.

With that in mind, our training sessions are focused and intensive - we allow a maximum of 2 students per teacher.

While you can't expect to be able to fly over the moon or beat the speed of sound after your first lesson, this essential introductory course will give you a solid base from which to progress, and get you ready for more advanced, fun techniques!

To join our courses you need a basic level of fitness and to be able to swim reasonably well.

Intermediate / Advanced
