windsurfer
Mast-riding athlete
A windsurfer is a person who rides a sailboard—a surfboard fitted with a mast and sail, propelled across water by wind.
The term also refers to the board itself: She bought a new windsurfer for the summer.
The sport combines elements of surfing and sailing, requiring balance and wind-reading skill.
