About this experience
My name is Tuan, I'm a local surfer from Mui Ne (South of Vietnam). I've been surfing for over 15 years, and I started teaching surf lessons about 10 years ago, turning my hobby into my full-time job! Also, I've had the opportunity to surf in Bali, Sri Lanka, Spain, France and Portugal. I love teaching, but what I love the most is meeting amazing people from around the world! The surf lesson will take place at the best sunset spot of the area (Little Buddha beach). It's a left-hand point break, ideal for beginners and fun for those a bit more experienced.
