And more seriously, toward the end, there were people standing on boards being towed by boats, bringing back an immediate flashback to my teen years (the end of this month, I will be going to my 45th HS reunion) of waterskiing and riding one of those boards. I was about to ask what those boards were called (knew it wasn't surf boards), and then it just hit me...I think "Aquaplanes", right? and they were not as easy as it looked.
I know the board as an Aquaplane. I googled aquaplane and here it is "Britannica online encyclopedia article on aquaplane:Water skis derive from the aquaplane, a wide riding board towed by a motorboat"
