VKS is a great place to learn how to kiteboard (or windsurf or surf)! Super friendly people, great teachers, a chill vibe and professional material. The have courses for people of all experience levels. As I had no experience kiteboarding when I came in, I did the Zero2Hero course that is on offer, and it got me familiar with the equipment and onto the water in no time! I definitely would recommend VKS to anyone who is interested in kiteboarding.

The guys at VKS are the friendliest instructors I ever had. They are really lovely and help you out with everything. When I rent a kite and had problems with the big waves at the beach they brought me out behind the waves.
They also speak really good english which can not be expected everywhere in Vietnam.
After your session you can hang out at the school and meet new people ;)
I highly recommend VKS :)
Miss you guys already! I'll be back ;)

It has been an amazing experience to spend few days learning Kitesurfing at VKS ... from start to finish it was nothing but great service by amazing local people. Huang, my instructor was super patient and extremely helpful. Really enjoyed every minute of it and wish I had more time there. Everyone there looks after you. VKS allows you to learn to kiteboard in the safest environment, they look out for you and go out of the way to provide you with best advice and best instructions to get you on board in the safest and quickest way. Great gear, fantastic people, amazing location. I will be back for sure!!! If you are looking to get on the kiteboarding joy ride this is the place to start the journey. Would recommend it to everyone.

I spent a total of 5 days at Vietnam Kiteboarding School (VKS) and opted for the Zero to Hero 15 hour package ( I was there for one reason only and that was to learn kiteboarding!). I cannot speak more highly of Hong my instructor, Hai VKS owner, the other instructors or the beach boys that help to coordinate everything. Hong is a very experienced, patient and calm instructor who knows the beach, the wind and the water like the back of his hand. Hong's attention to safety, and straight forward easygoing teaching method allowed me to quickly grasp the fundamentals of kiteboarding and into the water and independently kiteboarding up and down wind in 15 hours.

While I haven't experienced other schools in Muine, what made VKS special was the fact that not only the VKS team are cool relaxed and fun people but so to are the students that attend this school. If you sign up to VKS and are an open minded and easy going person, expect lots of jokes on the beach balcony, great kite surfing, great tips and pointers from all the instructors and if your lucky perhaps even an invitation back to some of the instructors homes for a casual and relaxed traditional Viet dinner.

I will definitely be returning to VKS in the future.

Had the best time of my trip from south to north at VKS. They don’t try to sell a package to you, they try to help you to get a better kitesurfer. They always support you in a positive way even if you make some mistakes. Spend 10 days at their school and felt super welcome every day. We had good and cheap local lunch and beers together!

Well, self proclaimed hero! I started out with nothing but a great spirit. In only 2 x 2h lessons, Tuan was able to teach me all the basics and even up to the level of kiting in the water (excl board). Amazing! Tuan was really professional, fun, and patient. I absolutely recommend everyone - experienced or newb - to learn the craft here.

Thanks Tuan!!

First of all, I’m a very slow learner & I usually takes a longer time to learn, but I had really wanted to learn how to kite. Next, wind and waves are also something that humans are unable to control, so I can only attend lessons when there is strong enough wind and not so huge waves.

I have a great instructor, Hoang! He was very patient with me despite my clumsiness. He had also thought of many ways to explain how to do something. He’s very knowledgeable & very skillful. Knowing my skill level, he was able to anticipate and correct my mistakes. So I felt very safe when I was out at sea.

As a school, they gave exceptional service. There were periods of huge waves or light winds, so learning to kite is not possible. But the good thing is they will think of ways to bring you to appropriate locations for kiting or even offer opportunities to do other water sports available.

For example, I’ve travelled to a beach just because the wind and waves conditions are great for a beginner. I’ve had even travelled to Phan Rang as they had better conditions on other days.

Payment is only by the number of actual teaching hours. So the number of hours does not include my lunch & water breaks. Of course, I definitely have to pay when I took part in the other water activities!

Everyone is friendly and will render their help without reservation. I was lucky to witness an incident after the school has closed for the day. Everyone from the school jumped into action when they heard that someone is struggling in the water. So be sure that you’ll be safe. In fact, everyone in the kiteschool is very welcoming & love to share their love for the water sports.

I’ll definitely be back again to continue to learn to get on the board.

👍🏽 Clear instructions
👍🏽 Creative explanations
👍🏽 Gentle way of correcting my skills
👍🏽 Getting you to where the conditions is good for learning
👍🏽 Learning at your own pace
👍🏽 Only actual instructional time is counted
👍🏽 Great community spirit
👍🏽 Friendly & welcoming atmosphere

I took the beginner course in VKS and by the end of the course I was already going upwind and downwind! Hoang was very friendly and clear teacher, and I really liked the vibe in the school. If you’re looking for a kiteboarding school in Mui Ne, definately choose VKS, you won’t regret it.
