windsurfs
Sails standing up
Windsurfs is the verb form of windsurf—to ride a board across water while standing and holding a sail attached to a mast.
The sport combines elements of surfing and sailing: She windsurfs every weekend at the lake.
Someone who windsurfs is a windsurfer, as is the board itself.
