I've always referred it as 'surge' because I didn't have any other name for it..

When windsurfing you were either planing or not planing (depending on the board) but with downwind boards there's a stage non-planing that the board is releasing but not fully releasing and you can feel the surge but the normal term for surge is a brief acceleration but in the DW world the surge can be maintained for longer periods..

That mode is what we called "shloging" when windsurfing.

It ain't over until the fat board sinks....
