Making Something Follow a Path but Still be able to control it


I would like to make The board follow to boat but the board still be able to move to left and right a little, so it can jump over the backwave of the boat. My Question is how I could possibly do it. I dont even need a clear answer just a hint in the right direction.

There is a bunch of ways to do so. Try this one:
Make a invisible dummy actor that will be following some spline, make your main character actor freely controllable allowing him to move left and right, and then in addition make it move towards that invisible object every tick.
