A low hum from the outboard, salt in the air and the boat easing away from Albufeira Marina—then, suddenly, you’re lifted. The parachute fills and the Atlantic tugs you upward, giving a broad, bird’s-eye view of sandstone cliffs, pocket beaches and fishing boats that look like toys below. The ride peaks at about 80 meters for up to ten minutes of quiet above the surf, long enough to drink in the coastline and orient yourself to the rhythm of the sea.
