How do I say "wind surfing" in Chinese? "jet ski"? "waterski"?
My dictionary doesn't seem to be very helpful with watersports. 冲浪 is surfing, but what about wind surfing? It says "jet ski" is 水上摩托艇, is that really the best translation? I can't find 'waterski' listed... but if I was to guess I'd guess 滑水... 对不对?

Thanks!
