Sailboards Miami, with its colorful sails, has graced the entrance to Key Biscayne since the 1980′s. Our presence on the Causeway is an unofficial landmark for locals and tourists alike. Pioneers in introducing windsurfing to the general public, we have watched the sport grow from infancy into adulthood. The school began in the days of triangular sails, tied-on-booms, freestyle, and the family dog being taken out for a cruise. Gary Eversole, Cort Larned, Rhonda Smith, Mark Robinson and many other windsurfing hot-shots are a part of our history. Miami Vice, with the neon era, brought tremendous attention to our sport (one of our own sailors even graced the opening trailer for the series!). Having survived Hurricane Andrew, we witnessed amazing developments in equipment as hi-performance gear became the norm.
