Student photos — K1 school, Mui Ne

Real photographs from lessons at our beach station in Mui Ne, Vietnam: kitesurfing, surfing and winter snowkite trips. Shot on the water with our own students, not stock images.

These are our own students, photographed during real lessons on the beach at Malibu and in the village of Mui Ne — from the first hour with a kite on the sand to riding away on their own. The winter frames come from our snowkite trips to the Khibiny mountains and the Arctic.

Kitesurfing in Mui Ne

Lessons run at Malibu beach and the central beach: shallow water, steady wind and warm sea — the conditions in which a beginner stands up fastest. Kitesurfing lessons in Vietnam — programme, prices and season.
