Designed for beginners and improving surfers alike, these private surf lessons provide focused instruction in a relaxed beach setting along the Da Nang coastline. Guests receive more time practising techniques in the water while learning at a pace that suits their confidence and experience level.
Your lesson starts near My Khe Beach, where you will meet the instructor, get fitted with your surf equipment, and prepare for the session. Depending on the weather and sea conditions, rash vests or wetsuits are provided before heading down towards the beach. The instructor begins with a short warm-up followed by an introduction to the surfboard, paddling technique, and the fundamentals of wave safety.
After the beach briefing, the instructor demonstrates how to position yourself correctly on the board, paddle into waves, and perform the pop-up technique used to stand up while surfing. Because the lesson is private, coaching can be adjusted to your ability level, whether you are trying surfing for the first time or looking to improve existing skills.
The remainder of the session takes place in the water with direct support from the instructor throughout. Beginners focus on balance and timing while catching smaller waves, while more confident surfers can work on improving control and consistency. Following the lesson, there is time to shower and change before finishing the experience.
Located along the coastline of Sơn Trà, My Khe Beach is one of Da Nang’s best-known surf spots and provides ideal conditions for beginner and intermediate surfing lessons. The long sandy beach and open water create a comfortable learning environment with enough space to practise safely away from crowded areas.
Beyond the surf itself, the surrounding area combines coastal scenery with cafés, restaurants, and easy access to central Da Nang. The nearby Sơn Trà Peninsula adds a more natural atmosphere to the experience, offering sea views and quieter stretches of coastline nearby.
No previous surfing experience is required for beginners joining the lesson. Private coaching allows the session to be tailored around your comfort level, making it suitable for complete first-timers as well as guests who may already have some experience in the water.
Participants should feel comfortable entering the sea and taking part in light physical activity during the session. Children aged 8 and above are welcome to join with appropriate supervision where needed.
Private lessons provide more focused instruction and additional time working directly with the instructor, helping guests improve more quickly while learning in a supportive environment.
