KITE YOU UP — Kite Lý Muine

Ride the waves

Surf Lessons in Mui Ne

Beginner to intermediate, on friendly beach-break waves — and the answer when the wind drops.

No wind? There's still surf.

Kite season runs November to April. From May to October the wind softens and most of Mui Ne goes quiet — but the waves keep coming. Surf also runs right through kite season, so a windless morning is never a wasted day.

First-timers

Board handling, paddling, pop-up on the sand, then straight into the whitewater. Almost everyone stands up in the first session.

Intermediate

Reading the set, paddling into unbroken waves, bottom turns and trimming along the face. Lý knows which sandbanks work on which swell.

What's included

Board, leash and instruction. Sessions run early morning or late afternoon when the wind is cleanest.
