rooster tail
Water ski plume
A rooster tail is the fan-shaped spray of water thrown up behind a fast-moving boat, jet ski, or vehicle driving through water.
The name comes from its resemblance to a rooster's tail feathers.
The term extends to similar sprays from car tires on wet roads or skis on powder snow: The speedboat left a massive rooster tail in its wake.
