paddleboarder

Upright water glider

A paddleboarder is someone who rides a paddleboard—a long, buoyant board propelled by standing and using a long paddle, or by lying prone and paddling with the arms.

The term usually refers to stand-up paddleboarding, a popular recreational activity on lakes, rivers, and coastal waters: Paddleboarders shared the bay with kayakers.
