You start on a sun-bright morning at Broadwater Parklands, wind in your face and the city’s glass towers glinting across the water. The guide runs a clear safety briefing and you spend ten minutes learning the lean-to-go Segway balance—then the waterfront opens up and the ride becomes a steady, flowing glide. Pelicans hitch the breeze; the Broadwater dares you to look away as yachts bob and kite surfers stitch white lines into the horizon.
