Pumping (foil)
A hydrofoil technique that generates continuous lift by rhythmically changing the front wing's angle of attack to maintain flight without power.

Bernoulli’s Principle
Bernoulli's principle is a fundamental law of fluid dynamics explaining how kites and hydrofoils generate lift through wing shape and angle of attack.

Terminology
Cavitation
A fluid dynamics phenomenon where a pressure drop causes water to vaporize into bubbles, leading to a sudden loss of lift and potential foil damage.
