PADDLE BOARD IN MIAMI

Stand Up Paddle Boarding became a popular thing to do, even more now that summer is here it seems as if everyone wants to try paddle boarding. I love paddle boarding but if you have never done it before i will advice you that it is hard at first, but then you get used to it. (great workout by the way) if you want to try Stand Up Paddle boarding but don't have a board, no worries i listed some places in miami where you can rent them or bring your own if you already have one.

Miami Beach: South Beach Kayak located in Purdy Avenue, we talked about this place in a previous post here. They offer Stand Up Paddle Boarding and you can rent them by the hour. they also have lessons for beginners.

Todo segundo sábado do mês ocorre um evento em Wynwood chamado Art Walk. Existem mais de 60 tipos diferentes de galerias e coleções de arte em Wynwood para se ver.

The art galleries open their doors to the public showing the best art they have. the streets are filled with hipsters, art fanatics, music, and a alternative ambience.

Por que ir? 

As galerias de arte abrem suas portas ao público, mostrando as melhor obras de arte que possuem. As ruas ficam cheias de fanáticos de arte e música. É um ambiente bem alternativo

The bars and restaurants are all crowded, but with a lively ambience. it may be hard to find a place to sit  anywhere so the idea is to go "Pub Crawl".  thats why their famous food trucks are a better alternative because their good and fast, and you will find a lot of options to choose from.

Os bares e restaurantes lotam, se tornando difícil encontrar um lugar para se sentar, então a melhor escolha é ir no "Pub Crawl".

Seus famosos caminhões de comida são uma boa alternativa, sendo bons e rápidos. Lá você vai encontrar diversas opções.

you don't need to purchase a ticket to come to the event, it is open free to the public

Não é preciso comprar um bilhete para entrar no evento, é aberto  ao público e gratuito

When & Where: 
the event starts at 7pm until 10pm, but it always stays open a little longer. if you want to find a good place to park or a table in one of their restaurants/bar i would suggest to come early.

Quando e Onde:

O evento começa às 19h e vai até as 21h, mas sempre fica aberto um pouquinho mais. Se você quiser encontrar um bom lugar para estacionar ou uma mesa disponível nos  restaurantes / bar sugiro que vá cedo.

Art walk rapidly transformed into one of the major events in Miami. The main area of the Wynwood Art Walk is between 20 St & 36 St and from NW 2nd Ave to NE 2nd Ave

Art Walk se transformou em um dos principais eventos de Miami. A principal área do Wynwood Art Walk é entre 20 St e 36 St e de NW 2nd Ave até NE 2nd Ave
