Abstract

A mechanical surfing apparatus includes a board on which a rider can stand and a drive mechanism for cyclically varying the slope of the board to simulate the motions of a surfboard in waves. The board is supported at three support points spaced in the longitudinal direction of the board. Drive forces having differing frequencies are imparted to the board at two of the support points.
