speedboating
Racing across water
Speedboating is riding in or operating a speedboat—a fast motorboat designed for high speeds on water.
The term covers the recreational activity as a whole: We went speedboating on the lake.
It can also describe the manner of travel: They arrived by speedboating across the bay.
