sailboarding

Standing wind surfing

Sailboarding is the sport of riding a board across water while holding a sail attached to a mast—essentially a surfboard with a sail.

The rider stands on the board and maneuvers by tilting the sail and shifting body weight.

Also called windsurfing: We went sailboarding off the coast of Maui.
