The wind hits the shoreline like an invitation — warm Levante gusts pushing foam toward the wide shelf of Los Lances, where white sand gives way to a glassy, wind-driven playground. You stand in the shallows with an instructor beside you, headset buzzing, kite arcing above like a practiced bird. The first launches are small victories; the first body-of-water rides, even more so.
