Hi, I am visiting Ft Lauderdale in Sept for a business conference, and would like to windsurf one day. What kind of equipment do you have for rentals? I am intermediate, comfy in the harness, still working on getting into the footstraps, and wonder if you have a safe place to sail also. thank you! Sue
August 12, 2011 at 8:56 AM
Hi Sue,
Happy to have you come windsurf with us. We carry Neil Pryde and JP 2011/2012. Feel free to bring your own harness or we have them for rent. You will launch directly from our beach onto Biscayne Bay which is an extremely safe area to sail. We can provide you with lessons or pointers on getting into the straps etc.
See you in September!

Hey there,
I am heading to Miami for work in early November and was wondering what the wind is usually like that time of year? I am a windsurfer and typically sail in spots like Aruba, Bonaire, Margarita, and South Padre Island and was wondering if I should extend my stay to get in a few days sailing.
Thanks,
Mike
August 12, 2011 at 10:42 AM
Hello and thanks for contacting us. Winds are anywhere from 10-20 miles on average. November can be windy all depends on gradient pressures at the time. Check weather report a few days prior to your visit or call us to get local info. In light winds we have been using SUP’s with big sails. When wind comes up we have JP’s Excite rides or Super Sports to get you planing. Our biggest sails are 7.7′s or 8.0′s. Hope this helps.

Two weeks ago I windsurfed for the very first time. I went to Sailboard Miami and Ovid gave a group of us the basics and minutes after the lesson moved into the water, everybody was having a blast windsurfing. Today I went back for more. I’m hooked. I can’t get enough. Somebody stop me.
Oh, and his crew – Phillip, Donald, and Felipe, awesome!
October 25, 2011 at 5:54 PM
Hi Karen,
What hours are you open November 25-26, 2011?
Are you typically crowded for performance gear rental on those days or just a walk-in would be fine?
Would I need a wet-suit?
Thanks!
October 25, 2011 at 6:33 PM
We are open 10am until 6pm, it is first come first served, we have plenty equipment . Last rental is at 5pm and the conditions are normally breezy to windy that time of the year. The water temperature is around 78 degrees so a shortie should be more than enough. Hope it helps
November 3, 2011 at 6:11 AM
Hello, I just spend my vacation in December in Miami and I intend to go windsurfing. I wanted to savor if wind conditions are correct to navigate. I never get my first schedule, and I intend to do during this trip. I’m about 90 pounds for a small 1m80. Thank you in advance. Mertamor (sorry for the google translate im french :p)
November 3, 2011 at 9:47 AM
Hi Mertamor,
Generally we have decent sailing in December, though you might want to bring at least a short wetsuit, if not a full (check the weather forecast before you come). We have advanced lessons if you are working on something (I think the Google translator is choosing the wrong word because I do not know what you mean by “first schedule”). See you on the water!
November 7, 2011 at 6:12 AM
ahahah yes indeed I did not speak of schedule but the planning of windsurfing. It was not hot enough to navigate in a swimsuit in December? : (
Thank you for your answers.
November 16, 2011 at 8:58 PM
I am planning a trip to Miami from November 27th – December 5th. Will it be possible to take lessons during this time. I am a beginner but not a brand new beginner. I know the basics and I windsurf when possible in my hometown. I know it might be chilly and I don’t own a wetsuit. Can those be rented or purchased?
November 17, 2011 at 3:21 PM
Hi Jen, We’ve had some great weather for windsurfing–a combo of sun and breeze! You can rent a shorty from us or purchase a heat seeker top (which is an inexpensive way to keep warm and very handy to own). Any questions about the weather or forecast, just call our office in the morning at 305 361-SAIL. Safe travels and see you later in the month.
November 18, 2011 at 5:53 PM
Hello Karen! Thanks for the quick reply. I have my travel dates and plane tickets. I will be in Miami Sunday, Nov. 27th – Saturday, Dec. 3rd. I’d love to have lessons at 2-3 days if possible and weather cooperates. How soon should I call to get that arranged?
December 23, 2011 at 7:49 PM
I’m trying to whip myself into shape for a week in south Florida in February. How are conditions typically that time of year? I go straight well for as long as I can hold on and hope to learn the harness, footstraps, tacks and jibes. Should I bring a shortie or full suit (keep in mind I’m coming from west Michigan…never see water above 75 degrees.)? Is this typically a slow time of year for you or do I need to make firm plans soon?
December 29, 2011 at 10:25 AM
Hello from sunny Miami, a shortie is all you will need, water temp. is around 76 degrees. February is normally windy with 2-4 days weekly in the range of 15-20 miles. We can work on teaching you turns and how to use the harness and other skills. Depending on wind conditions we will suit your lessons accordingly.
January 2, 2012 at 8:38 AM
What are the starting times for lessons? How much earlier should we show-up for registration and setup?
January 2, 2012 at 9:51 AM
Good morning, two hour group lessons are giving at 11am, 1pm and 3pm, weather permitting. You need to show up 1/2 hour before the time or call us to reserve your spot.
January 23, 2012 at 9:14 AM

Prices vary depending upon the type of equipment needed, etc. Your best bet is to call the office at (305) 361-7245 to discuss details.

Hello,
I am coming in Miami for a week on wednesday. Some Windy conditions coming? Waves?

January 30, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Check with our office when you get here to get a weather report, when in Miami if it is windy do not wait for later or tomorrow due to the fact that the conditions might change. For waves you need to go to Virginia Key Beach about 5 minutes from our site, good from the N, NE,E and SE. We are open Friday to Tuesdays 10am-6pm.
February 3, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Hi,
Do you know what times your 2 hour “Learn to windsurf” lesson will be provided on Sunday, March 4th?
Also, at that time of year, is a wetsuit typically needed? If so, is that inlcuded in the cost or is it a separate optional charge?
Thank You!
February 3, 2012 at 11:14 AM
Hi Carly,
Yes, weather permitting (which it normally is this time of year) we will have our lessons at 11:00, 1:00 and 3:00. If the wind is too offshore in its direction, we might offer a one hour private instead of the two hour group. Wetsuits are optional and are available for $5 if desired. Feel free to call the office at 305 361-7245 if you want us to hold a specific time slot for you. We do ask that you arrive 15-20 minutes prior. Safe travels! Karen
February 3, 2012 at 11:22 AM
Perfect! thanks so much. I’ll give y’all a call closer to the date.
March 25, 2012 at 6:20 PM
Hi,
I’m travelling to Miami On May 2012; and i wanna take same windsurfing classes (I began windsurfing 4 months ago), mainly to learn to use the harness and waterstart. Which are the weather conditions in May? Is it right to learn??
Thanks!!
March 27, 2012 at 9:39 AM
Good morning, winds in May can reach 15 miles daily. The harness lesson does no require much wind, anything in the 10+ mile range is good, waterstarts need at least 12+ miles to get you going. The harness lesson is 1/2 hour and the waterstart is at least one hour long. I am assuming that you are already using your arms independently of each other and proficient at sailing on a reach back and forth. When in Miami if it is windy come down to our site, don’t wait for later or the next day due to the fact that wind here can change pretty quickly.
Hope it helps.
April 2, 2012 at 4:17 PM
HI, I am travelling to Miami at the begining of May. I would like to know if you are open during weekdays, because I would like to spend windsurfing the whole morning. Thanks
April 2, 2012 at 5:12 PM
We are open Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During the Summer and certain school holidays we open 6-7 days/week. The site opens at 10:00. Feel free to call to the office any time after 9:00 to hear the forecast. May is our best month of the year (historically) so you should be able to get planing. Enjoy!
April 2, 2012 at 6:17 PM
At what time do you offer lessons for beginners? my friend is visiting and we are planning on going tomorrow!
April 2, 2012 at 6:56 PM
Winds permitting lessons are taught at 11am 1pm and 3pm. Arrive about 30 minutes before the hour you choose. Weather is the only variable when learning to windsurf; we need at least 8-10 miles to get you going. Forecast looks good but you can always call us to check on conditions.
April 9, 2012 at 4:38 PM
Hello, I was planning to take a few friends out to windsurf for my birthday in May, I know that the 2 hour lesson is $79 per person but does that include all the equipment necessary? Also, how many people are allwed per group?
April 9, 2012 at 5:41 PM
Hello there, the two hour group lesson includes all equipment needed and the maximum in each group is 5-6 people. If you have a larger group please contact us so we can tailor the lesson to your group. Hope it helps
April 29, 2012 at 1:05 PM
Hey! I have a friend who windsurfs and he took me out on his formula board twice. Also, I am an experienced dinghy/skiff sailor and I want to get into windsurfing so my friend and I want a few lessons…should we do the intermediate level lesson or stick to the beginner lessons?
April 30, 2012 at 9:30 AM
As an experienced sailor you will have the advantage of understanding wind, direction and points of sail, so progression should be quicker. Basic good foundation is important to move forward thus the reason for beginner lessons. Seems to me that coaching might be what you need once you have learned and applied the basics of windsurfing. Time on the water is essential for anyone getting into the sport. If we see the student is able to handle basic equipment we will challenge you by increasing sail size and/or decreasing board size, a natural progression in windsurfing.
Not quite sure whether you have sailed a formula board or (someone took you out?). We will evaluate your skill level while you are on the water.
May 11, 2012 at 11:22 PM
Hello, I am planning to be in Miami for a week around mid of June and would like to advance my windsurfing skill from very basic level. Any recommendation for hotels nearby? Or do we have any hotel&windsurfing package?
