Skimming on the water's surface.

is when the board is going fast enough to skim across the surface of the water, as compared to pushing its way through the water.

A high speed hull type that skims across the top of the water at speed with minimum displacement.

education.qld.gov.au

A boat rising slightly out of the water so that it is gliding over the water rather than plowing through it.

awia.org

Operating mode of a high-speed craft in which most of the vehicle weight is supported by hydrodynamic lift rather than by static buoyant force and which is characterized by a clean flow separation at transom and chine.

foils.org

in kite-surfing, the board rises up at speed as an effect of pressure.

kitepower.com

Descriptive of a hull that is designed to rise farther out of the water as boat speed increases. Such a hull is typically shaped like a V, as seen in cross-section from the front or rear.

A boat is said to be planing when it is essentially moving over the top of the water rather than through the water.

kiddcomarine.com

A planing boat's hull skims across the surface of the water rather than pushing through the water in the way a traditional displacement hull works. In the U.S. the term hydroplaning is sometimes used instead of planing, but primarily to describe racing motorboats which plane. Hydroplaning is also an important concern in car safety (see Hydroplaning (car)).
