The wind teases the bay as you step onto the bright deck and scan Spanish Waters — a glassy lagoon edged by low reefs and sunlit mangroves. In minutes an instructor fits a harness, shows you the wing like a companion with its own temperament, and the lesson begins: first land drills to read the wing, then sliding onto a wide, stable board, and finally the nervous, thrilling moment when foil lift takes over and the board begins to fly.
