You push off from the boat and the coastline pulls away—the sea opening beneath you, the shoreline of Puerto Plata shrinking into a strip of sand and palm-topped hotels. Wind tugs at the kite above as you rise, and for eight minutes the Atlantic lays itself out: turquoise shallows, reef lines, and the distant silhouette of the Cordillera Septentrional.
