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

JIBES



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


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."
