A short board, a big ocean, and you’re moving fast. What makes this rental worth your time is the board selection for Da Nang’s small-to-medium waves and the no-fuss shop setup that’s geared toward getting you on the water quickly. I like that they cover a wide range of experience levels, from soft tops for learning to longboards and fish for tighter wave days.

Two things I especially like: you can rent soft top boards (easier when you’re learning) and you have options in epoxy or fiberglass for different styles. One consideration: you need to be 16 or older (or have a parental guardian present) and you’ll need a governmental photo ID to rent.

Key things to know before you rent at My Khe

• Soft top + hard top options so you can match the board to your skill level
• Epoxy and fiberglass boards in multiple shapes, including fish and shortboards
• Wetsuits and rash vests available for all sizes (including kids)
• 4 hours is the rental window, so plan your wave time
• Small group size (max 15) keeps things more manageable at the shop

My Khe Beach Waves and the Board Mix That Fits

My Khe is known for being a practical place to surf: the wind and swell change, but you’re usually dealing with small to medium beach-break waves. That matters because board choice affects how fast you feel in control.

This rental gives you a smart range. You’ll see short boards, fish, and longboards, with boards available as soft top and hard top made from epoxy or fiberglass. In plain terms:

• If you’re new or rebuilding confidence, a soft top helps you get up, recover, and keep moving without the scary wipeout feeling.
• If you already surf comfortably, epoxy/fiberglass hard boards let you dial in speed and turns when the waves cooperate.
• If the day is on the gentler side, longboards and fish are often the easiest way to feel the ocean rather than fight it.

Price for $8: Value That’s More Than the Sticker

$8 per person is low enough that you can treat this like a real activity, not a rare splurge. And in a place where you might hesitate on renting because of cost, that price reduces the usual regret math. You’re paying for the board time plus practical gear support.

The other value angle is selection. If you’re paying cheap but end up with the wrong board, the experience can get frustrating fast. Here, you’re not locked into one type of surfboard. You can choose between soft top and epoxy/fiberglass hard tops, and you can also ask for boards suited to your level and the typical Da Nang wave shape.

Also, based on the shop’s review feedback, the owner has been associated with extras included in the overall experience, like a swimsuit included in the price, and they run very cheap group lessons on Wednesday and Sunday. That matters because it turns a simple rental into a chance to add coaching if you want it.

Where You Start: Meeting Point and What That Means

You’ll begin at 35 An Thượng 5, Ngũ Hành Sơn, Đà Nẵng 550000, Vietnam. The shop is open 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Sunday.

There’s no mystery about the logistics: you show up, confirm your mobile ticket details, and get sorted with a board and gear. The location is described as near public transportation, which helps if you don’t want to rely entirely on taxis or if you’re combining this with other My Khe stops.

Practical tip: because your rental window is about 4 hours, show up with enough time to get fitted (especially if you’re picking a size for wetsuit/rash vest). That keeps your session from feeling like a rushed sprint.

What the 4 Hours Looks Like on the Ground

This is a rental format rather than a multi-stop tour. So your “itinerary” is really a flow:

1) Pick up your surfboard (shortboard, fish, or longboard)

2) Get geared up with the right fit if you need it

3) Use your rental during your session window at My Khe Beach

4) Return and finish back at the meeting point

The value of this structure is control. You can spend more time practicing if the waves are mild, or shorten your session if the wind turns awkward. For many people, that flexibility is the point of renting rather than booking a full class.

A possible drawback: because it’s self-directed, your experience depends a lot on choosing the right board and gear. If you’re unsure, ask for help on what fits Da Nang conditions—especially if you’re between beginner and intermediate.

Board Choices: Soft Tops, Fiberglass/Epoxy, Fish, and Longboards

This shop’s board selection is the real heart of the experience.

Soft top surfboards for learning and confidence

Soft tops are a smart match for beginners and anyone who wants safer progress. They reduce the sting of falls, and they generally make it easier to paddle and balance while you’re finding your stance. If you’re thinking about trying surfing for the first time, you’ll likely feel less “frozen” by fear when wipeouts happen.

Epoxy and fiberglass short boards and hard tops

Epoxy and fiberglass boards are commonly used for responsive performance. That’s the path for surfers who can already pop up and want more speed and maneuvering options. If your goal is to practice turning or get a feel for takeoff timing, this category supports that.

Fish for momentum and fun on beach break

Fish boards are often popular when you want speed through flatter sections and a playful feel in lighter waves. If the day isn’t delivering long, perfect lines, fish can help you keep making rides instead of missing everything.

Longboards for spring/summer wave days

Longboards are called out as great for beginner-to-expert ranges, especially for the small spring and summer waves in Da Nang. Even if you’re not a strict longboard specialist, a longboard can make it easier to catch waves and glide while you work on style, trimming, and consistent takeoffs.

Wetsuits and Rash Vests: Don’t Skip the Fit

You can rent wetsuits and rash vests for all sizes, including little ones. That’s a big deal because comfort affects your surfing. If you’re cold or chafed, you’ll cut the session short or lose focus fast.

The practical way to use this: pick the size that feels snug but not restrictive. A better fit helps you stay warmer and move more naturally in the water. If you’re bringing kids, having sizes available makes the rental feel like it’s built for families, not just adults.

The Owner Factor: Cheap Lessons and a Friendly Shop

A recurring theme in the shop’s review feedback is the owner’s friendliness. That matters more than it sounds. When someone at the counter genuinely helps, you’re more likely to get the board that matches your ability instead of grabbing whatever looks cool.

The same review also points to added value beyond rentals: group lessons on Wednesday and Sunday at a price described as dramatically cheaper than typical beach surf schools. Even if you don’t take a lesson, it tells you the shop is set up to teach, not just rent equipment.

If you’re booking this because you want a first surf experience, that teaching culture is a plus. And if you already surf, those low-cost group sessions are a good way to polish basics without paying premium class rates.

Who This Rental Is Perfect For

This rental is ideal if you want an affordable way to surf My Khe with real equipment choice.

You’ll likely love it if:

• You’re a beginner and want the safer learning path of soft top boards
• You’re intermediate and want to practice on epoxy/fiberglass short boards or fish
• You’re a longboard fan or want easy wave catching on the lighter Da Nang wave days
• You want to keep control over your day and use the 4-hour window at your pace

It may not be the best fit if:

• You only want a guided class with constant instruction (this is a rental experience)
• You don’t plan to ask for board advice, since the wrong board can make even good conditions feel hard

A Note on Age and ID (This One’s Non-Negotiable)

To rent surfboards, you must be 16 years of age or over, or you need a parental guardian present. A governmental photo ID is required.

This is normal for surf gear rentals, but it’s worth planning around. If you’re traveling with friends, make sure everyone who rents has the correct ID ready.

Weather, Timing, and When to Go

This activity requires good weather. If it gets canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

Since the shop is open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, you have flexibility to reschedule if conditions don’t cooperate. For the best session, aim for times when you can actually trust the water to behave—your board choice matters less if the sea is rough in an unsafe way.

Should You Book This Surfboard Rental?

Book it if you want maximum value and real choice at a low price. The board mix (soft top + epoxy/fiberglass hard tops, plus fish and longboards) is what makes this stand out as a practical rental for a wide range of surfers.

Don’t book it if you need heavy coaching from minute one. If you’re unsure, though, the shop’s presence of low-cost group lessons on Wednesday and Sunday is a strong hint that you can level up your rental day with instruction if you want it.

If you’re coming to Da Nang for My Khe and you’d like to surf without overpaying, this rental is an easy yes.
