Why doesn't the wind surfer just fall to the ground?

Answer 1

The wind surfer doesn't fall to the ground because of the principles of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. The sail on the wind surfer generates lift, similar to how an airplane wing generates lift, allowing the wind surfer to stay above the water. Additionally, the rider adjusts their body position and the angle of the sail to maintain balance and control, preventing them from falling. The combination of these factors allows the wind surfer to stay upright and maneuver on the water.

Answer 2

It is all a question of practice and balance.
