Miami Windsurfing Festival--A Great Day for Watersports on Biscayne Bay
|
The event was co-hosted by Sailboards Miami and Miami Windsurfing.com. Approximately 100 windsurfers and their families came to the beach on Saturday August 2nd and Sunday August 3rd to participate in this great community festival. Sailors took advantage of 2008-2009 windsurfing equipment demos by KA sails, Neil Pryde sails, and JP Boards. Families and children of all ages enjoyed the beginners' clinic and lessons hosted by Ovidio DeLeon, US Master Instructor and owner of Sailboards Miami.
Meanwhile more advanced sailors were in the water testing the new equipment. Other sponsors helped shape this event with interesting and refreshing products including Steaz energy drink, Max Muscles Nutrition Products, and Diabeskin moisturizing cream. Their sponsorship helped create a beautiful day at the beach. Welcome to the new members of South Florida Windsurfing Association--your support keeps the windsurfing community in South Florida grow stronger. Stay tuned for more pictures and reports. See you at the beach!

Summer Weather & Watersports
|
|
Summer is in full force. Our beach location is ideal for cooling down due to our consistent sea breezes. Do note that when rain is in the forecast it tends to be in the late afternoon and usually passes through quite quickly. Rain builds up over the Everglades and then makes its way to sea. Hence, consider making your plans for earlier in the day or, take a look at the weather radar to track the storms. Last weekend, for example, we had rain from 3:30 until 4:00 and then it was beautiful and clear for hours. FYI, for windsurfers, around 2:00 seems to be a great time for the best wind. |

Marley & Me
|
March 2008
Ovidio DeLeon, Master Instructor and President of Sailboards Miami trained Owen Wilson and Eric Dane for Fox 2000's Marley & Me. With the magic of film making, Ovidio had the actors looking like professional windsurfers in just a few hours. Based in South Florida, Marley & Me is the true story of John Grogan and his dog, Marley.
Look for shots of Sailboards Miami's staff windsurfing in the background as Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston walk down the beach. "We pulled equipment out of storage in order to be true to the 1990s," comments Ovidio. "You certainly won't find that old stuff on in our rental fleet!"
Unfortunately we were asked to leave our cameras at home! |
