Highlights

My name is Tuan, I'm a local surfer from Mui Ne (South of Vietnam). I've been surfing for over 15 years, and I started teaching surf lessons about 10 years ago, turning my hobby into my full-time job! Also, I've had the opportunity to surf in Bali, Sri Lanka, Spain, France and Portugal. I love teaching, but what I love the most is meeting amazing people from around the world! The surf lesson will take place at the best sunset spot of the area (Little Buddha beach). It's a left-hand point break, ideal for beginners and fun for those a bit more experienced.

  • 5Such a fantastic introduction to wave surf.

    It was just the best! We Got picked up on motorbikes and drove to the best surf spot of the day. We quickly started Warming up after arrival. We learned some basics about getting up on the board and into the waves we went. We had a great three days beginners course with Bay and Tu. Thank you. We warmly recommend.

  • 5The reason I extended my lessons with Mui Ne Local Surf School

    I am a beginner but have taken few lessons before from other places. Every coach has different ways to teach. The good part is that they do not judge and remain open minded. What they do is correcting my bad habits and give advice. I can see their passion in teaching and always being supportive. In the water, they always correct one thing at a time, step by step. ‘This wave is steep need to pop up faster’, ‘you need to create enough speed by shifting weight forward’. It’s so helpful for a beginner as I tend to overthink after some failed attempt when I am surfing myself. Service is good from 1-100, from the moment I arrive till I leave Vietnam. They never get frustrated when I ask questions. I enjoyed the trip very much! Thank you so much!

  • 5Recommended in Mui Ne!

    The people from the surfschool were very helpfull, experienced surfers and relaxed. They helped me with my first lessons, which were great and above all fairly priced! After those lessons I could hire a board, and they still watched me during this and gave me tips. Would recommend a lot! *They even make pictures of you during surfing which they send you later: also very nice haha.

  • 5Experienced instructors and super fun time catching waves!

    Our instructors were super cool and experienced! They helped us learn how to catch waves and we were super stoked that we managed to catch some big ones even though we weren’t in the middle of the surf season! My instructor, Phi, showed me a great time and I truly enjoyed this experience! I can truly say that I’ve found a love for this water sport and will definitely be back for more when I return to Mui Ne!

  • 5Excellent surging school. Warm friendly professional

    What a wonderful experience! From our first communication at 7PM ( after office was closed) via Google messaging, to meeting Sara and the team on the beach the next day, we have had a few days of magical memories learning to surf. Sara’s professionalism stands out, and made the whole process very smooth. The instructors are warm and with friendly smiles and reasonable English- a LOT better than my Vietnamese!. 3 of us are total beginners so we took some one on one lessons and then rented boards. The photos are great!. The instructors (even after the lessons) helped with selecting the best waves and when to start paddling. We thoroughly recommend this company. I love the fact it is run by locals so the money goes directly in to the community. THANK YOU for making this a trip of a lifetime.

About Phan Thiet

Phan Thiet is a fishing city on Vietnam's south-central coast, famed for fish sauce, red sand dunes and the beach resort of Mui Ne.

Phan Thiet lies at the mouth of the Ca Ty River in Binh Thuan province, a working port with a harbour full of blue fishing boats. The town is Vietnam's best-known producer of fish sauce, made from anchovies fermented in large barrels, and fishing, dragon fruit and tourism fill the economy. Po Sah Inu, a group of Cham brick towers built more than a thousand years ago, stands on a hill at the edge of the city.
