How Kitesurfing Lessons Work in Mui Ne

 

There’s a rumor that learning to kitesurf in Mui Ne is tough — but that’s not quite true.

If you know the right approach, you can learn fast.

Here’s how we do it.

 

 

 

 

In Mui Ne, there are two main beaches for kitesurfing lessons — Central Beach and Malibu Beach.

 

Both have big waves and depth, but there’s one key difference:

 

• Malibu Beach lessons take place in the shallow water near the shore, before the waves break.
• Central Beach lessons happen further out, behind the breaking waves, at the depth.

 

To help you progress faster, we’ve designed a two-stage learning plan.

 

 

Stage 1 — Malibu Beach: Learn Kite Control

 

1. Kite control on land or in shallow water (1–2 hours). You’ll start by learning to steer a small kite safely and confidently.

 

 

2. Body dragging with the kite (1–2 hours). You’ll practice moving through the water using kite power — an essential skill for staying in control after a fall.

 

3. Preparing for water starts (1–2 hours)

• On the beach, you’ll generate kite power and simulate standing up.
• In the water, you’ll put on the board, position yourself correctly, and practice water starts.

 

Once you’ve got the basics, it’s time for stage two — waterstart.

 

That's why we take a short trip north to Phan Rang to flat, waist-deep water with steady wind.

 

 

 

Stage 2 — Phan Rang Trip: Learn to Ride

 

Phan Rang is a quiet coastal town about 150 km north of Mui Ne.

Here lies My Hoa Lagoon — a huge, flat, shallow spot with crystal-clear water and a stunning mountain backdrop.

 

 

The depth here varies from knee to waist, depending on the tide. The waves break far out on the coral reef, so inside the lagoon it’s perfectly flat — ideal for fast learning.

 

The lagoon stretches about 800 meters from the beach to the deep edge.

The wind blows almost every day from November to March, averaging 10–15 m/s. It’s strong, steady, and perfect — no wonder top riders train here.

 

 

Training in Phan Rang

 

Each session lasts 2–3 hours and includes:

 

• Practicing water starts (1–2 hours): getting up on the board and stop.
• Riding your first meters and learning to stop safely.
• Once you’re confident, you’ll start riding both directions and learning how to go upwind.

 

After mastering water starts, you can continue your training back at Malibu Beach or join our next trip to Phan Rang for more smooth-water sessions.

 

 

 

How Long It Takes to Learn Kitesurfing in Mui Ne

 

On average, it takes about 10 hours of private lessons with an instructor to start riding confidently.

 

Even experienced riders from flat-water spots often need a few sessions to adjust to the waves in Mui Ne.

 

Trips to Phan Rang and flat-water training can speed up your progress by around 1.5 times.

 

Ready to ride? Let’s make it happen — wind, sun, and endless fun await you in Mui Ne!

• 40 minutes of water time, refining takeoffs and landings

If you already jump confidently, you can learn one new trick per hour.

Tricks You Can Master With Us

• Jumps with the kite

• Backroll & double backroll
• High jumps — we’ll show you how to really fly
• Darkslide
• Frontroll & double frontroll

• Hand-drag backrolls
• Board-off and one-foot tricks

Why Malibu Beach Is Perfect for Advanced Riders

Between the waves at Malibu Beach, you’ll find large flat sections of water — perfect for jumping and smooth landings.

You can also use the waves as natural kickers when riding on the left tack, giving your jumps extra height.

Malibu is a dream spot for wave kitesurfers too — when the wind picks up, the waves can reach 1–3 meters,

and that feeling when you’re escaping a wave as it’s chasing you — simply unforgettable.

Mui Ne is the most accessible wave-kite destination in Asia — steady wind, warm water, and endless fun.

Our Kite School

We’re located inside Blue Shell Resort — a peaceful beachfront surrounded by tropical pines.

Our kite school has everything you need for a perfect kite day:

• Two swimming pools
• A bar and restaurant
• Air compressor for inflating kites
• Showers, toilets, and gear storage
• A spacious area for packing and rinsing kites
• A cozy shaded lounge zone
• A large, secure territory with plenty of space to relax

Our team includes experienced instructors and some of the best riders from Mui Ne and Russia.

Come visit us — you’ll feel the vibe right away!

How to Get Here

You can reach us easily in several ways:

1. By taxi or motorbike taxi (Grab app)

2. By motorbike rental — it’s just a 10–20 minute ride from the center of Mui Ne.

3. We can pick you up! If your lesson starts around 11 a.m., one of our instructors can swing by and bring you to the school by motorbike.

Directions by Scooter

There are two main routes:

• Through the village:
  Ride east along Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street, passing Ham Tien Market and the fishing boat bay.

• Via the highway (Mui Ne Bypass):
  Take the highway east to the roundabout, turn right at the first exit, then at the first traffic light turn left into the Blue Shell Resort parking area.

If you take the village route, expect a bit of traffic near the market and some bumpy spots.

The highway route is faster and smoother — the best way to reach Malibu Beach.

Our Instructors

Ivan Trapeznikov — Founder and Head Instructor

Certified IKO Level 1 Kitesurfing Instructor

I first tried kitesurfing in the winter of 2015 and began proper kiteboarding training in 2017.
For three summer seasons, I worked as a kite instructor.

In 2020, together with another instructor, I opened my own kite school.

Later, in December 2022, I completed the IKO Instructor Course in Egypt and became a certified Level 1 instructor.

Since then, I’ve worked on kite safaris in Egypt and trained riders in Kenya and Turkey during different seasons.

In 2024, I came to Vietnam for the first time — and completely fell in love with the country, the people, and the amazing wind conditions.

That’s how our Mui Ne kite school was born for the 2024/25 season.

My teaching style is all about fast and focused learning.

I love helping students progress quickly.
Most of my students become independent riders within 6–10 hours of training — usually in Egypt.

The most gifted ones start riding their first meters after just 2 hours (about 30% of them at Malibu Beach!).

I train both beginners and riders returning after a break —
and I’m always happy to teach how to jump and land stylish tricks with confidence.

What to Bring for Your Kitesurfing Lessons

• Sunscreen (SPF 50 or higher)
• Sunglasses and a hat (cap or bucket hat)
• Water shoes (optional — Malibu Beach has soft sand)
• Short wetsuit — handy on cloudy or windy days if you get cold easily
• Lycra top and shorts for sun protection
• Swimwear and a towel

You don’t need any special skills to start kitesurfing — anyone can learn!

Just one thing: since Mui Ne beaches are fairly deep, you should be able to swim before starting your lessons.

Why Kiters Love Mui Ne

Here’s why so many kiters choose Mui Ne every winter:

• Strong and steady wind — it blows almost every day during the main season (December to March).
• Perfect weather — stable air temperature around +25–28°C all winter.
• Great infrastructure — plenty of accommodation, massages, delicious food, and fun hobby groups.
• Affordable lifestyle — attractive prices for everything.
• Relaxed vibe and nightlife — peaceful village rhythm by day, vibrant beach parties by night.
• Delicious Vietnamese cuisine — fresh seafood, grilled meats, and veggies — all cooked with love.

Once you come here, you’ll understand why Mui Ne feels like a second home for kiters.

 

Kitesurfing Season in Vietnam

 

In winter, northeast winds blow in Mui Ne — the season starts in November and lasts until April. Wind speed in winter ranges from 7 to 15 m/s, most days around 8–12 m/s. By January, the weather becomes steadily sunny and windy.

From June to September, southwest winds take over — riders usually use larger kites (10–14 m²). May and October are transition months with the lightest winds.

 

The rainy season falls between summer and autumn, with short daily showers that usually last about an hour.
 

☀️ The main kitesurfing season in Mui Ne runs from mid-November to March, with consistent winds almost every day — perfect for both beginners and pros.

 

 

Mui Ne Village

(How to get here, where to stay, visas)

 

Mui Ne is a cozy fishing and tourist village located about 200 km north of Ho Chi Minh City. It’s a calm and sunny place that kiters from all over the world come back to every winter.

 

 

Getting to Mui Ne

 

First, book a flight to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).

From there, you can reach Mui Ne by private transfer or sleeper bus — both will take you straight to your hotel on the main street.

 

• Private transfer: around $60, comfortable 3-hour ride.

• Bus + taxi: around $30 in total.

 

We can help arrange a transfer — our local Vietnamese partner speaks English and is always on time. Your driver will meet you right outside the airport exit.

🚐 Option 1 – Private Transfer
Book a car through us or online.

Drivers will take you directly to your hotel.

 

🚌 Option 2 – Sleeper Bus

After leaving the airport, cross the road and ignore taxi offers.

Open the Grab app and order a taxi to Pham Ngu Lao Street - Hang Cafe bus station.

There you’ll find Hang Cafe, where you can buy a ticket to Mui Ne (just tell them your hotel name).

The bus will drop you off right in front of it on the central strreet.

 

Where to Stay

 

If you’re coming for the winter, it’s best to find accommodation locally after arrival.

The “1001 Hotel” area is quiet, away from the main market — no noise or chaos, and lots of nice cafés, massage salons, shops, and currency exchange points nearby.

 

🏠 Option 1 – Budget stays

Book a room in 1001 Hotel for 1–2 nights and then look around for long-term housing. Guesthouses along the main street range from $120–400/month, or $300+ for a place by the sea. We can show you the most popular spots.

 

🏖️ Option 2 – Comfortable apartments

For more comfort, look for Ocean Vista, Domain Villa, or Sea Links. These options are often booked out in high season, so it’s smart to reserve early. There’s also a Telegram group with local realtors where you can rent apartments or villas (payment possible in rubles).

 

✈️ Option 3 – All-inclusive tours

Recently, Russian agencies started offering package tours to Vietnam. It’s usually best to choose one with breakfast included — cheaper overall and you’ll still enjoy the local food scene.

 

Vietnam Visa

No visa is needed for stays up to 45 days. If you plan to stay longer, apply for an e-visa online — a single-entry 3-month visa costs $25.

Be sure to fill in all fields, including occupation and insurance. Select Lam Dong Province when applying. Payment can be made with any international card.

💡 Apply about one month before your trip — just in case you need to resubmit.

 

Getting Around Mui Ne

Everyone here rides scooters.
A 125cc scooter costs about 2,000,000 VND/month ($80), up to $200 for a newer, more powerful one.
You can rent on the main street or through local contacts.

🚲 Prefer something slower? Try an electric bicycle.
There’s almost no police on the streets, and for short rides, use Grab for taxis or motorbikes.

 

Local Tips

💬 SIM cards are easy to get at the airport or in Mui Ne (Viettel or Mobifone are best).
💱 Currency exchange is available on the main street — rates are fair.
📱 Free Wi-Fi is everywhere.
