2. Jetboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetboard

   A jetboard is a motorized surfboard, where the rider controls the speed using a handheld remote control (wireless or tethered) and uses the bodyweight transfer to maneuver the board. The driveline typically consists of a water jet module (similar to what is found in a PWC ), and either a combustion engine or a battery powered electrical motor.

3. Foilboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foilboard

   This hydrofoil design allows the surfboard and its rider to rise above the water’s surface, allowing for fast speeds and increased maneuverability in a wide range of surf conditions. [2] Foilboards are becoming increasingly popular across many water sports, including surfing , kiteboarding , windsurfing , [ 3 ] and wakeboarding . [ 4 ]

   The participant straps into the hydrofoil ski and secures the safety straps on the seat tower and the foot bindings. After the deep water start, the skier can ski, jump, and attempt aerial tricks launching the hydrofoil off the water and off boat wake. Other variants include a wake surfboard with a foil attached to the back underneath the water.

   While most human-powered watercraft use buoyancy to maintain their position relative to the surface of the water, a few, such as human-powered hydrofoils and human-powered submarines, use hydrofoils, either alone or in addition to buoyancy.

   The hydrofoils help, as do the three modes of operation. “Rather than going directly from floating to flying, we have this intermediate mode, foil. That foiling mode allows us to get through the ...

7. Hydrofoil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofoil

   A hydrofoil is a lifting surface, or foil, that operates in water. They are similar in appearance and purpose to aerofoils used by aeroplanes. Boats that use hydrofoil technology are also simply termed hydrofoils. As a hydrofoil craft gains speed, the hydrofoils lift the boat's hull out of the water, decreasing drag and allowing greater speeds.
