WaverRider Call of the Deep planar ally?

[CyberThread]

Does the waverriders ability to summon a water elemental as a SU with planar ally . The fact it is a SU and not a spell , mean that you don't have to pay the requirements of summoning the water elemental ?

Unfortunately, the payments aren't labeled as components, so you would still have to pay them as far as I can tell.
