Morning light skitters across the Gold Coast canals as the instructor straps a compact motor to the underside of a board and hands you the throttle. The water is glassy between the homes and mangrove pockets; the first lift is a quiet, uncanny moment when the board leaves the surface and the world drops away beneath your feet.
