The board hums under your feet before the water gives way — a whisper that turns to lift as the foil pulls you above Polson Bay. Morning light slices across the lake; wind and wake become a punctuation mark rather than an obstacle. In two hours you go from sitting in the water to balancing on a motorized wing that feels as close to flying as a board can be.
