sailboarder
Standing wind sailor
A sailboarder is a person who rides a sailboard—a surfboard equipped with a sail, used to glide across water propelled by wind.
The activity, also called windsurfing, requires balancing on the board while maneuvering the sail: Sailboarders gathered at the beach as the wind picked up.
