The boat hums away from the shoreline and the Atlantic calls — a broad, restless surface that dares you to rise above it. Within minutes you’ll feel the wind firm against your harness as the crew eases out 800 feet of line and lifts you smoothly toward about 400 feet over turquoise water. From that height Fort Lauderdale’s coastline reads like a living map: beaches, marinas, and the occasional dolphin arching through the wake.
