aquaplanes
Skims water's surface
Aquaplanes as a verb means to hydroplane—when a vehicle's tires lose contact with the road surface due to a layer of water, causing loss of control: The car aquaplaned on the wet motorway.
More common in British English; Americans typically say hydroplane.
As a noun, an aquaplane is a board towed behind a motorboat for riding on water, a precursor to water skis.
