The company maintains and tracks the credit for any packages you may have purchased. I have taken almost ten lessons with this company over the last 3 years and they honored credits from a package over a year ago. The event is more than just a kite surfing lesson. You get to go on a boat, you go to Stiltsville or wherever the wind is best and the area safest. You also get snacks and an adult beverage for the ride back. The total time is about 4 hours. They monitor the wind and try to only go out when there is enough wind to learn. Any questions just DM me. I am happy to help. Also, there is a restaurant right by the dock you leave from. So you can grab a bite after or before. I'll try to find a photo of the kite surfing.

The single best experience I've had on my kiteboarding journey! Thank you Melissa, Charl and my…read moreinstructor Camila for two spectacular days. ‍ Before coming to South Florida Kiteboarding I had gotten stuck. I was able to get up on the board but wasn't able to get a run in longer than a few seconds. That all changed with SFKB. Not only did I break past that barrier, I was flying downwind in both directions. My first lesson with them was an absolute game changer Why is it so great to learn with SFKB? Wonderful staff and instructors, great equipment and a gorgeous boat to take you out to the riding spot. They took us out to Stiltsville, a giant sandbar with great wind, shallow water and calm waves. The location has so much room to ride in, and you don't have to dodge around a ton of people like you would on the beach. It's the best place I've been to to nail down the fundamentals and get comfortable riding. After two lessons, I'm getting even more comfortable riding up and downwind and am super close to being independent. Love this crew and can't wait to get back out on the water with them! ‍

Bit of a low tide coming back in from the paddle, but with several water canals made available it was a relaxing, easy ride out. $15/hr cash or CC. Single kayaks. Also $25/hr double-man kayak. Mothers day is when I went. The vibes were mad chill. With a crazy view of Miami, you're sure to enjoy. J

SO HORRIBLE. I…read morecalled one Saturday (after buying the Groupon deal for 2 up paddleboards) to see if we could reserve for the next day but they were booked and I was told I needed to reserve a week in advance and to call back or reserve online on Monday..ok fine. I can understand that. When the online booking wouldn't let me reserve using my groupon, I called and they told me to proceed with the reservation without entering my groupon code and that they would apply the discount when I came in for the reservation. So I proceeded to book online without the groupon code but when I finally got down to reserving at a time it only gave me one time available (8:59 pm), obviously that is not right. I called back and the owner (who is actually the reviewer below) told me to text him the time I wanted to come in on sunday and he would put it in the system. I texted him the time I wanted to come, with additional information that he didn't even ask for = because I wanted to make sure they didn't screw this up. I included my name, email address that I used to book online, the time and the date that I wanted to come. So finally Sunday comes around and my boyfriedn and I are excited for a day of paddleboarding. We wanted to confirm our reservation so I called at 10am. The conversation went like this: Me: Hi, I had made a reservation on Monday for this afternoon at 1pm but I just wanted to confirm that you had our reservation. Miami Water Sports: If you made the reservation, we have you booked. (click) My boyfriend and I looked at eachother puzzled. Whatever..We decided to go and when we show up, guess what happened. THEY DIDN'T HAVE OUR RESERVATION!! I told them I had called to confirm that morning and they basically called me a liar and said he would let us reserve another day (uh, they better). We had to leave to put money in our meter but told them we would call back to sort things out. When we called back about 10 minutes later, HE TOLD US HE WAS BUSY WITH CUSTOMERS AND COULD NOT TALK TO US...um what??? WE ARE CUSTOMERS!! The only reason this place gets 1 star is because it is located just across the street from SOUTH BEACH KAYAK. We called them after the disaster at Miami Water Sports and they were able to get us 2 stand up paddleboards for 2 hours RIGHT THEN AND THERE! To sum it up: If you are thinking about using MIami Water Sports, DON'T. I will be calling Groupon to get my money back.

AWFUL! I scheduled…read moremy paddleboard session through Groupon. I didn't even check this Yelp otherwise I would have never ordered it. My appointment was canceled the day of due to rainy weather, and I found out through a text message. OK, that makes sense. However, I called multiple times to reschedule over the course of week. I am talking at least 10 times, and not once did I get through to anyone on the phone. Instead, they sent a text letting you know they are not available. RUDE. In this day and age where customer service is so important, I have no idea how people like this exist. Do not waste your time buying this Groupon.

The woman made eye contact with me and knew I was there, but just kept looking at her phone and having a casual conversation with her coworker. It was honestly weird... and frustrating. Then they were very arrogant. They were trying to tell me what size kite and board I should use, even though I've been kiting for years and knew which size I should be on. I ultimately took their advice, but had to come all the way back in to switch to the size I originally wanted. They also don't advertise the true price to rent gear. It said $150 for 3 hours on the website when really you have to pay an additional $40 + tax. The 40 covers "insurance." The real cost was over $200. Then I asked to buy some sunblock and realized at that point I was just getting ripped off. They gave me a tube the size of a chapstick for $20. I asked if there were any other options... nope! That tube lasted me two applications. Next time I will bring my own gear and kite somewhere else. What a shame.
