foilboard
Wave-riding hovercraft
A foilboard is a surfboard, wakeboard, or similar watercraft fitted with a hydrofoil—a wing-like fin that extends below the water.
As speed increases, the foil generates lift, raising the board above the surface so the rider glides smoothly over chop and waves: She cruised silently on her foilboard while kiteboarders splashed through the swells.
Also called a hydrofoil board.
