The morning sun lifts over Magens Bay and the Caribbean laps at your toes like a willing apprentice. With a small group gathered on the white curve of sand, an instructor hands you a patented split mold and demonstrates a quick, mechanical choreography: pack, split, lift. The result is a tower that looks engineered but was born of the shore.
