Mui Ne is an all year round destination for kite surfing. Our main high season is November to April. With North East monsoon generated winds, you can expect daily winds ranging from 10 to 20+ Knots, ideal for kite surfing and learning.
Lessons are in two sessions of 2 hours each. The first session, Level 1 is ground school where we cover all the basics: Suitable locations, weather conditions, kite set up, terminology, basic flying skills using a 2 line 3mtr Best foil kite and a 4 line Best Guroo. We cover safety systems, depowering the kite, self rescue, twisted lines, landing and launching of a four line LEI kite, assisted and un-assisted. Finally water re-launch.
We only require a minimum of around six-eight Knots for the level 1 lesson. We will not be going in the water.

The second session, Level 2 will comprise of a series of body drags, flying and controlling a four line LEI kite through the power zone and at the edge of the wind window whilst in the water. Once complete and you show a good level of skill flying the kite, we can then progress and concentrate on developing board technique and finally showing you how to get up on the board.
10 Knots and over are required to successfully complete the level 2 course, the session will be stopped should the sea swell and wind conditions become too much (over 25 knots) or too little (under 6 knots) in the winds case. The final decision is at instructors discretion, generally 25 knots is the threshold for teaching safely.
Lessons will comprise of a maximum of 2 students per session, normally one instructor one student is the rule. This ensures we can concentrate on the individual needs of each student.
Storm Kite boarding will provide all the necessary equipment and safety aids for the training sessions, with the exception of wet suits which are not required due to the lovely warm water temperature.
