When the sun disturbs the powder-white sands of Sunset Harbor, only the waves and seagulls are there to welcome the first light. Then come the early riser: wet-suit clad or flipper-footed. Paddleboarders begin to drift out from the harbor with the golden sun greeting their tan skin. That's where TKS Miami comes in.

With everything from lessons to all the tropical-toned gear needed, TKS Miami provides everything needed to make a sunrise paddle a reality. In addition to paddleboard and kiteboard classes and sales, TKS rents gear for day trips out to sea, whether for a guided paddleboard tour of Miami or for a stand-up yoga session. In its shop, it has all the swimsuits needed for water-play, all the flip-flops needed for a stroll around the harbor, and the casual wear to match the carefree lifestyle.
