Perfect for first-time surfers, this short introduction to surfing combines guided instruction with extra time on the water to practise independently afterwards. The session focuses on building confidence in the ocean while teaching the key techniques needed to start catching waves safely along the Da Nang coastline.
Your surf experience begins near My Khe Beach, where you will meet the instructor, collect your surfboard, and get prepared with the necessary equipment for the session. Rash vests or wetsuits are provided depending on conditions before the group heads down to the beach for a short warm-up and introduction to surfing.
The beach section covers the basic techniques needed to get started in the water, including paddling, balance, positioning on the board, and the pop-up movement used to stand up while surfing. The instructor also explains ocean awareness and surf safety before demonstrating how to catch a wave correctly in beginner-friendly conditions.
Following the introduction, participants spend time in the sea practising with guidance from the instructor while learning how to paddle into waves and improve balance on the board. Once the guided lesson finishes, guests receive additional surfboard rental time to continue practising independently and enjoy more time in the water before returning the equipment afterwards.
Held at My Khe Beach in Sơn Trà, this lesson takes place on one of Da Nang’s most popular stretches of coastline for beginner surfing. The sandy shoreline and open beach conditions provide a comfortable environment for first-time surfers wanting space to learn without feeling crowded.
Beyond the surf itself, the surrounding area offers a mix of beach cafés, local restaurants, and coastal scenery close to the city centre. The nearby Sơn Trà Peninsula also adds a more natural backdrop to the experience, with sea views and quieter areas along the coastline nearby.
No previous surfing experience is required for this session, making it suitable for complete beginners wanting a simple introduction to the sport. The lesson is designed to build confidence gradually while allowing guests to learn at a relaxed pace.
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 required.
This session combines beginner instruction with additional independent practice time, giving guests the chance to continue improving after the guided lesson ends. The relaxed format makes it ideal for visitors wanting to try surfing without committing to a longer coaching session.
Small group sizes, supportive instructors, and beginner-friendly equipment help create a comfortable learning environment both on the beach and in the water. Guests can focus on enjoying the experience while building useful surfing skills along the way.
