The boat slips past the intracoastal and the shoreline peels away — condominiums narrowing into dunes, the surf hissing like a dare. The crew inflates the chute, clips harnesses, and up you go: an 800-foot line lifts you above the Atlantic where the city below becomes a grid and the ocean opens into a glittering plain.
