A portable water sports environment is provided. The environment includes a mat positioned on a liner. The front end of the liner may be positioned proximate to a body of water. The back end of the liner may be positioned distally to the body of water. A spray nozzle positioned along a front end of the liner may spray water from the body of water onto the mat and toward the back end of the liner. The environment may a ballast positioned on the top surface of the liner and spaced from the mat. The mat, the top surface of the liner, and the ballast may define a trench that extends away from the back end of the liner and toward the front end of the liner. The trench may guide water received from the spray nozzle toward the front end of the liner and into the body of water.

The invention relates to a Surf Pool wherein a portion of the beach is provided with a wave catch basin. With the wave catch basin extending along the length of the beach, the wave catch basin will allow water to go over an infinity edge and settle in the wave catch basin, wherein wave energy backflows are eliminated and rip currents are avoided. With the wave catch basin extending along the beach side of the surf pool, the water that is collected in the wave catch basin and by pumping water out of pipe fittings or creating positive suction into pipe fittings, alters the flow of the rip current, thereby altering the wave formation characteristics. As the rip currents enter the rip current flow channels on both sides of the surfing reef, water can be suctioned down through return pipes or pumped in any direction along the surf pool bottom to stop the rip currents in the rip current flow channels, which helps the breaking waves from becoming distorted as they break.

A system, apparatus, and method for constructing or providing a ride surface for an amusement attraction, such as an inflatable surfing attraction. The ride surface may be formed via the connection of a plurality of ride surface portions or segments. A mechanism may be incorporated to smooth the ride surface and define a more continuous ride surface between the plurality of ride surface portions or segments.

A wave generation assembly includes a drive system and a wave generator. The wave generator is coupled to the drive system. The wave generator includes a generator head and a chamber. The generator head is movably positioned within the chamber by the drive system between a first position and a second position. The chamber is positioned below the water surface. The chamber includes a first end positioned near the water surface, and an opposed second end that is below the water surface. When in the first position, the generator head is positioned near the second end of the chamber, and when in the second position, the generator head is positioned near the first end of the chamber. Movement of the generator head from the first position to the second position drives water out of the first end of the chamber to generate the wave along the water surface of the body of water.

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.

A system and method for displaying surf training instructional information is used to improve a user's pop-up, as it relates to popping up on a surfboard, and improving one's surf fitness. The visual illustrations indicates the position of a surfer's hands, their body when lying on their surfboard and/or where their feet should land when they pop-up into their surfing stance on a surfboard, which can engraved, drawn or painted onto a surface of any type. The system and method also has visual instructional guidelines for performing exercises and stretches that can be done to improve a user's surf strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. By using this system and method a user will improve their pop-up (jump) and overall surf fitness in order to become a better surfer.

A wave generating system.

A balance board adapted for riding rail-to-rail, preferably so that at least a portion of a rider's feet will be placed on the board over the elongated roller. The balance board includes an elongated, planar board having a length that exceeds a width. The balance board further includes one or more detachable U-shaped fulcrums, having a lower curved section for rail-to-rail balancing, or for acting as stops for nose-to-tail balancing on a separate roller.

A wave generating apparatus mobile application controller and method is provided in which a mobile controller actuates a plurality of wave generating chambers in sequence using a delay between actuation of each chamber to produce a rideable wave in a pool. The mobile application controller allows the user to select the exact type of wave to be produced by the wave generator apparatus by selecting size, shape, and pattern of the wave. The application also allows the user to use a camera to photograph or record herself or someone else, even while riding a wave.
