wave rider
Board sport enthusiast
A wave rider is someone who rides ocean waves, typically on a surfboard, bodyboard, or similar watercraft.
The term emphasizes the act of harnessing wave energy rather than any particular technique or equipment.
It extends metaphorically to someone who navigates changing circumstances skillfully: She's a wave rider in the corporate world, adapting to every shift in the market.
