Excellent School with experienced and professional instructors
I learned kite surfing at Kitesurfsoul at Obidos Lagoon in Portugal.
Joao, Jan and Charlotte have all been exceptional at teaching and supporting me in all these weeks of hard work to reach a level where I feel now perfectly confident to weather any wind condition and perform any safety and rescue action.
Thank you very much again, you rock!

Great for Beginners
Had an individual 12 hour introduction to kitesurfing, mostly with Joao, and went from a total beginner to being able to ride on the board for short stretches (though think I'll need more lessons before attempting anything by myself.) Teaching was excellent - ambitious enough to make you learn the basics quickly, but without compromising on either safety or enjoyment. Conditions were pretty good - winds were quite light for most of the week, but there's a wide enough range of kit that they can give you a kite that's suitable.
A tip: if you have your own wetsuit boots, I'd advise bringing them with you. The shoes provided at the centre don't cover your ankles, and I ended up with a rash on both my ankles (think from an allergic reaction to the seaweed?) That aside, the lagoon was the perfect place to learn - no waves, not many other people, and a scenic 25min walk from Bom Sucesso.
Outside of the course itself, things were understandably quiet because of Covid, but all staff were very friendly and made an effort to encourage people to hang out outside of lessons. Imagine that once the planned guesthouse with bar etc is built, then the social side of the holiday will be just as good as the teaching.

If other people would follow his example, taking care of nature and giving respect to wildlife species while still joking & having fun but never forget safety, as well as other kite teachers; the world (of kiteing) could be a much better place.
So I thank god for given me this chance to be a pupil of this unique and sooo special person !!!!!!!!

A great introduction to the sport
I signed up for a package lesson at Seabreeze Kite School in Banda Aceh recently and was very lucky to get Joao Virgilio as the instructor. I found him professional in the way he conducts the course program, often stressing the importance of safety, but yet friendly enough so that you feel at ease throughout the learning process. The water conditions was not the most idle at that time when I was there because of strong currents but Joao handled the situation calmly and patiently. I never felt at all in any danger because he was always there to guide. He is good at building confidence which helped a lot in the learning curve. Definitely an instructor I would highly recommend! Thanks Joao!!

KiteSurf Mui ne
My experience in Mui ne was absolutely unforgettable:
Everyone on the team was super friendly and fun! It was also a great place to relax outside of lessons as we were welcome whenever we came.
The equipment is reliable and superb for beginners in the sport, and the instructors (Joao Virgilio for me) have several years of experience. Safety was obviously a number one priority for them, as everyone is briefed on the basics before going in the water, and we are prepared for situations that we might face while kiteboarding.
The teaching methods that Joao used were efficient, and really helped me progress as a kiteboarder while making it fun as well as encouraging.
Overall, the team in Mui ne truly conveyed their passion and love for kiteboarding to me, and I will definitely strive to be a better kiteboarder in the future.
Thanks to all the team in Mui ne for all the fun and adventure :)

A great way to start your kite surfing journey
I was very lucky to find this school in Vietnam and especially I'm thankful to my instructor Joao Virgilio. If you want to become really confident and independent surfer - just go to Mui Ne Vietnam, do what this man commands, and you'll be absolutely fine.
The atmosphere on the beach is very friendly and supportive. We had a great time there, and I can recommend this place to everyone who is going to explore the kite surfing world.

My Kite classes with Joao at Ilha do Guajiru
Hi,
My first experience with IKO was very good. I already had some kite basics but I wanted to reinforce them and be more confident. Therefore I took some lessons with Joao and I'm more than satisfied.
First Joao took the time to go through the security and self rescue procedures. That was a good "refresher" for me and very useful.
We then spent most of the hours on the water focusing on learning and doing turns.
I would absolutely recommend Joao for anyone who want to start kitesurfing or improve his ride. Joao has great teaching (pedagogy) skills, he is really "security/safety" oriented, and above all he is an easy-going/fun guy !
Thanks a lot for these great 4 days !
Cheers,
/Paul
