sailboard

Mast-mounted water plank

A sailboard is a long, narrow board with a mast and sail, ridden while standing—essentially a surfboard adapted for wind propulsion.

The sport is windsurfing or sailboarding.

As a verb, to sailboard is to ride one: We spent the afternoon sailboarding on the lake.
