windsurfers
Mast-gripping wave riders
Windsurfers are people who ride a board equipped with a sail across water, using wind power to propel themselves.
The sport combines elements of sailing and surfing: Windsurfers dotted the bay, their colorful sails catching the afternoon breeze.
The word also refers to the boards themselves.
