Project MIA Wind Launched

Motto: Empower an entire community to sail in the Bay of Biscayne.

This is your opportunity to join me and friends at Miami's Windsurfer Beach, learn to windsurf, improve your sailing skills and have fun.

Windsurfing is easy to learn and enjoyable at any age. New wider and more stable boards, combined with much lighter sails make windsurfing easier than ever. And, I will be your coach.

You will learn to sail in 2 hrs:

  • 45 min on shore to go-over gear, wind & navigation basics, and warm up
  • 1 hour on the water
    light breeze and calm waters
    longer time on the water is your choice
  • 15 mins on shore debriefing

Your windsurfing practice can be gentle and relaxing like riding a bike trail throuhg an open field, or as exhilarating and addictive as flying high above water on 30 mph winds.

Dates: Every Saturday, and some Sundays, from May 19th to July 7th - weather permitting.

Cost: I am bringing the joy of Windsurfing to the people in my world, for free. All you need is a sailboard which can be rented on-site.

Sailboards Miami provides on-site sailboards rentals for $25 hr, including water booties and life-vests if you need them. They also offer a range of lessons and other rentals such as Kayaks. On your very 1st lesson you can share a sailboard with another sailor, but soon enough you'll want your own.

Reserving a Spot:
Follow this link to the Reservation Site, pick your weekend and add a comment to enroll. Please make sure I have a phone number where I can reach you on sailing day.

Get Involved: Are you already a windsurfer or you know someone who is, get involved in sharing the gift of sailing with the people in our world. E-mail me.

Those inclined to study ahead check out this great online Windsurfing lesson.

There will be a quiz ;-)

Peace,
