  In a recent paper [J. Fluid Mech., 952: A22 (2022)], Roux et al. demonstrated
that a translating monopolar acoustic source is subjected to a self-induced
radiation force opposite to its motion. This force results from a symmetry
breaking of the emitted wave induced by Doppler effect. In the present work, we
show that for a dipolar source, the selfinduced radiation force can be aligned
with the velocity perturbation, hence amplifying it. This work suggests the
possibility of a dipolar acoustic source surfing on its own acoustic wave,
hence paving the way towards acoustic quantum analogues.
