Fog lifts off the sound and a cold wind runs across the deck as the instructor checks your harness. Within minutes the boat slides into a protected training bay in Howe Sound and you trade shoreline noise for the rhythmic slap of small waves. The wing tugs like a living sail; the goal is simple — read the wind, stand on the board, and feel the foil lift you above the water.
