English term or phrase: keep the boat moving to the right

Textsorte: Filmskript

Zielpublikum: Wassersport-Fans

4 Leute (2 Männer, 2 Frauen) sind oauf einem Highway in Florida mit einem (wie auch immer) angehängten Boot unterwegs. Mein Vorstellungsvermögen reicht leider nicht, um folgenden Satz des Fahrers richtig zu interpretieren:

"I think we should put alle the big bags on the right - I'm not talking about you girls - and keep the boat moving to the right, and I'll surf just like back home."

Dieser Satz stammt aus dem Mund des weltberühmten Wakeboarders Rodolphe Vinh Tung; "Surf" ist daher scherzhaft zu verstehen.

Die Taschen dürfen wohl nicht ins Boot verfrachtet werden, oder? Warum soll das Boot immer "nach rechts" gehen? In meiner simplen Vorstellung wird das Boot hinten ans Auto gehängt und zuckelt auf Rollen hinterher.
