Kneeboarding

From About.com

Definition: When being pulled by a boat, riding on an extra wide board-shaped ski while in the kneeling position. The knees stay in position on the board with the help of a strap that goes across the top of the thighs.
Pronunciation: 'nE 'bord
Also Known As: Hydrosliding
Common Misspellings: Neeboarding
Examples: Betty had difficulty when attempting to stand up on water skis so we suggested she try kneeboarding. This may benefit her since there is no standing involved in kneeboarding and it keeps your center of gravity lower to help with balance.
