   This is called the #pumpfoil. She is #pumpfoiling

   You pump up and down with your legs and that motion alone is all that is necessary to translate via a hydrofoil under the water surface (like a wing) to give you lift and forward motion

   You need good balance, endurance, and if you stop pumping you lose lift and sink rapidly

     @benroyce @bruno

     I find the first 45 seconds of this wing foiling video to be .. heartlifting, somehow.

     You can see many examples of pumping while the rider hunts for the next free ride from a new gradient wind or wave.
