Morphology

sailboard = sail + board (transparent) = sail + board

The noun is a direct compound of 'sail' + 'board' and the meaning (a board with an attached sail) is straightforward to infer.

Etymology

Sailboard comes from the two simple words sail ('a piece of cloth that catches the wind') and board ('a flat piece of wood' or 'a surfboard'). So a sailboard is literally a 'board with a sail', which is why it names the long, narrow board used for windsurfing.
