The rider is carving hard, linking up his off-the- bottom, off-the-top turns and generating an amazing amount of speed. It looks like he’s on a track of some kind. While not a stand up surfer, not a boogie boarder, jet skier, not a bird or a plane the prone rider is moving at an accelerated speed almost Serpentine in movement. But what is it he is riding?
