A multipurpose exercise device having a base that rests on a support surface and a user platform upon which the user stands. The lower end of a perpendicular support post is mounted to the base to axially pivot thereon and the upper end of the post is pivotally mounted to the lower surface of the user platform. The user platform pivots with the support post in a horizontal plane parallel to the support surface and pivots on the support post in a vertical plane perpendicular to the horizontal support surface. Resistance elements are provided having one end mounted to the support post and the other end mounted to the base to control the velocity and angle of pivot of the user platform in the horizontal plane. Preferably, a plurality of resistance elements are provided having one end mounted to the base and the other end mounted to the user platform to control the velocity and angle of pivot of the user platform in the vertical plane. In use, the user stands on the user platform and performs exercise motions to propel the user platform to pivot in the horizontal plane and the vertical plane. The user platform may include various type foot mounts to simulate sports activities such as skiing and snowboarding.

An arrangement according to the invention relates to an apparatus (10) for generating a standing wave (12) in a standing water body or water basin (14). The apparatus (10) has at least one water acceleration section (32), at least one wave generation section (46) arranged downstream of the water acceleration section (32), and at least one pump (28). The at least one pump (28) is arranged in such a way that with this pump (28) water from the underwater area of the standing water body or water basin (14) can be conveyed to a starting level (30) which is higher than the water level (24) of the standing water body or water basin (14), in order to generate a water flow directed toward the wave generation section (46) by utilizing gravity (g). Furthermore, the apparatus (10) is arranged in relation to the standing water body or water basin (14) such that the standing water body or water basin (14) with its water level (24) is part of the wave generation section (46).

A water or other amusement attraction that includes an inflatable portion or material. A cavity of the attraction is located underneath an upper surface, the upper surface configured to support a flow of water and at least one rider thereon. A volume of water is configured to be disposed within the cavity, the upper surface floating upon the volume of water while connected to at least one side wall, floor, and/or nozzle structure. A pump and nozzle assembly, positioned outside of the cavity, communicates with the water within the cavity for flowing a portion of the water over the upper surface. A drainage portion, adjacent to the upper surface, drains the flowing water back into the cavity for recirculation. Support components, such as a plurality of beams or an inflatable grid structure help maintain stability for the attraction.

Examples of a interactive paddling system are described. The interactive paddling system comprises a paddling assembly, a display screen connected to the paddling assembly, a plurality of sensors configured to detect a position and/or orientation of the paddleboard, the pole and/or the user and generate output signals, a user interface operable to receive input information from the user and provide output and a processing system communicably coupled to the paddling assembly, the display screen, the user interface and the plurality of sensors to receive, from the user interface, the user input data and output signals from the plurality of sensors and to send the output signals to the actuator of the stability adjusting system to adjust a position and orientation of the paddleboard and to display and track a performance parameters of the user in real time during a particular activity content.

The invention relates to a water board (2) made of a material that can float on water, having a support area (8), on which a user rests at least partially. To reduce the current forces acting on the user while holding on to and being towed behind a motorized watercraft (24), it is proposed that the water board (2) has, at a front-end area, an attachment segment (22) for the articulation of the water board (2) to the watercraft (24).

A truck with two rigid bodies and an elastomeric component wherein a front truck and a rear truck may be connected with a frame to comprise a riding device with a longitudinal roll axis coincident with a virtual line between a front virtual pivot point and a rear virtual pivot point. Each virtual pivot point is located at the intersection of a line projecting upward from the central point of a hanger axle axis and a hanger pivot axis. Virtual pivot points are the points about which the front and rear hanger pivot axis rotate as a result of rider input leaning to the right or left.

An exercise apparatus comprises a body having a top surface adapted to support a user standing thereon, an endless band extending around said body along a path substantially perpendicular to said top surface, said endless band being slidably supported by said top body for rotational movement thereabout and a plurality of protrusions extending from said endless band adapted to be engaged upon by an object manipulated by the user.

Some embodiments include an axial flow pump for a activity pool. An axial flow pump, for example, may include a water reservoir and a pump body disposed within the water reservoir. The pump body may include a shaft seal, a water flow intake, and a water flow output. The axial flow pump, for example, may also include an impeller disposed within the pump body between the water flow intake and the water flow output; an electric motor disposed external to the pump body and external to the water reservoir and a shaft that is coupled with the electric motor, extends into the pump body through the shaft seal and is coupled with the impeller such that the electric motor rotates the impeller causing water to flow into the pump body through the water flow intake and forcing the water to exit the pump body through the water flow output.

A wave generating system for generating a standing wave is provided, which includes: a wave generating structure having a manipulable portion for adjusting a characteristic of the standing wave; a water supply which supplies a primary flow of water towards the wave generating structure; and a return circuit for redirecting at least some water from a location downstream of the wave generating structure back to the wave generating structure to assist in forming the standing wave.

An apparatus and a method for physical exercises is provided. The apparatus may include at least one rigid cylinder of circular or polygonal shape. The apparatus is designed for functional training exercises, including but not limited to, dry-land, surf-specific training. The apparatus is versatile and may be used in any and all fitness programs, as well as physical and rehabilitation therapy. Corresponding methods for performing physical exercises on at least one rigid cylinder are also provided.
