If you stand in a 1 deep block of water, look up, and shoot a trident with riptide, it will launch you way up into the air. This can be used to gain unfair height advantage.

Having the riptide momentum not being reduced when the player bursts out of water creates a much easier way of taking off from the ocean, but to prevent players from abusing it to super jump, the enchantment should only work when the player's head is also submerged.
This is most likely works as intended, as that’s the purpose of the riptide enchantment; it launches you out of water.
