Every year Mui Ne has
more kite schools and kitesurfers, still instructors are in demand as the love
for this sport increases. With this increase in schools the student traffic
in the bay has started to become a little crowded. This is not a problem as long
as everyone kiteing is fully educated and safety aware.
Please
know that there may be unlicensed unqualified schools and
instructors operating in Mui Ne, so for your own safety and the safety
of other beach users please only use the licensed schools. As with most
services you get what you pay for, so when considering learning
kitesurfing a potentially dangerous sport, spending a little extra cash
to ensure your personal safety, is pure common sense. The
kitesurfing schools all offer different packages to suit your needs and
are all roughly the same price.
As a beginner your first concern is safety. What we mean by that is
firstly make sure that your kitesurfing instructor is iko qualified,
check if full safety equipment will be used e.g: helmet, life vest. If
you are not comfortable or you don't have enough experience and your
feeling a little overwhelmed, then you can always visit the forum to ask
your questions (www.kitesurfing-muine.com/forum/phpbb3),
it is also a great place also to buy or sell your kitesurfing equipment.
There you will find a wealth of more specific information under the
discussions section. If you still can't find an answer then please feel
free to post your question on the forum and we will answer it
personally.
Key safety points that you must be taught
before kiting on your own:
-
Know the
Right
of way rules/Respect to other beach users.
-
Know how to correctly and safely rig up the
kitesurfing equipment.
-
Be aware of certain weather conditions and
environments that can pose a danger to kitesurfers.
-
Know how to use your safety equipment correctly
for the type of kite you are flying.
-
Know how to launch and land the kite safely
including all safety checks prior to launch and land.
-
Know how to pilot the kite in a controlled
manner both in and out of the water.
-
Know how to use your safety equipment correctly
for the type of kite you are flying.
-
Know how to self rescue, and
re-launch.
A message for all: Most
schools are happy for kitesurfers to use their beach area, as long as
this is done in a safe professional manner, using the correct procedures
for kitesurfing (Rules
and respect).
Please ask before you kite on or near a kitesurfing schools beach,
this will allow them to explain the do’s and do not's Please follow
their guide lines and kite safe

One of the first schools in Mui Ne, providing sailing, surf boards, SUP (Stand up
paddle boards), kayak rental and more. Jibes also has a great water sports shop
at the same location. Jibes kiteschool is under the care of Matt who is a
thorough and professional Instructor, using Airush kites and F-One. Matt probably has the most instructor experience on the beach and takes safety of the
sport as priority.
A note from Matt, chief instructor
at Jibe’s…
"Learning to kitesurf is all
about fun, and the amount of power available at a kiter’s
fingertips is truly awesome… but to learn this sport
properly and safely requires a serious approach, for your
own sake and for others around you. Too many kite-related
accidents and injuries in Mui Ne and throughout the world
continue to convince us at Jibe’s that there is no
substitute for:
1) a very
experienced and knowledgeable instructor
2) a consistently applied, well-thought out lesson
plan, and
3) awareness of safety checklists and protocols at
every step.
Careful and complete instruction is
still our focus at Jibe’s, using techniques we’ve fine-tuned
over eight years of teaching thousands of students and
seeing what works and what doesn’t. No shortcuts, no
teaching in marginal or insufficient wind conditions, no
wasting time during billable lesson hours, and no
overloading of students. Jibe’s unique lesson organization
allows students to benefit from free learning time every
day, instead of being locked into a package with set hours.
We are well aware that with
kitesurfing, the details do matter-- assimilating a large
body of technical information, acquiring muscle memory and
reflex skill sets, developing situational awareness, and
learning how to make judgement calls based on conditions.
Our mission at Jibes is that each student who passes through
here gains a deep understanding of the tremendous
possibilities as well as the limitations of the equipment."
