aquaplane
Motorboat pulls it
An aquaplane is a board towed behind a motorboat, ridden while standing—a precursor to water skis.
As a verb, aquaplane describes what happens when a vehicle's tires lose contact with wet pavement, riding on a film of water instead: The car aquaplaned and spun into the guardrail.
British English uses aquaplane where American English typically says hydroplane.
