Surfboard simulating exerciser having handle device

Abstract

A surfboard simulating exerciser includes a surfboard, a device for moving the surfboard in a surfboard exercising movement, and a handle device for actuating the surfboard in the surfboard exercising movement. The surfboard has a front portion slidably supported on a track, and a rear portion moved in a cycling action with a crank. A weight or a flywheel may be coupled to the crank for applying a resistive force against the crank. The handle device includes a lower portion pivotally secured to a base, and a link coupled between the handle device and the crank.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A surfboard simulating exerciser comprising: 
 a surfboard,    means for moving said surfboard in a surfboard exercising movement, and    means for actuating said surfboard in said surfboard exercising movement.    
     
     
         2 . A surfboard simulating exerciser comprising: 
 a surfboard,    means for moving said surfboard in a surfboard exercising movement, and    handle means for actuating said surfboard in said surfboard exercising movement.    
     
     
         3 . The surfboard simulating exerciser according to  claim 2 , wherein said surfboard includes a first end, said moving means includes means for rotating said first end of said surfboard in a cycling action.  
     
     
         4 . The surfboard simulating exerciser according to  claim 3 , wherein said rotating means includes a crank for rotating said first end of said surfboard in the cycling action.  
     
     
         5 . The surfboard simulating exerciser according to  claim 4  further comprising a base for rotatably supporting said crank, a flywheel rotatably supported on said base, and means for coupling said crank to said flywheel.  
     
     
         6 . The surfboard simulating exerciser according to  claim 5 , wherein said surfboard includes a second end, said base includes a track provided thereon for slidably supporting said second end of said surfboard.  
     
     
         7 . The surfboard simulating exerciser according to  claim 4  further comprising a lever for supporting said surfboard, said lever including a first end pivotally coupled to said crank.  
     
     
         8 . The surfboard simulating exerciser according to  claim 7 , wherein said lever includes an extension, and means for adjustably securing said extension to said lever.  
     
     
         9 . The surfboard simulating exerciser according to  claim 7  further comprising a base for rotatably supporting said crank, a lever including a first end pivotally coupled to said crank and including a second end for supporting said surfboard, and said base including a track for slidably supporting said second end of said lever.  
     
     
         10 . The surfboard simulating exerciser according to  claim 2 , wherein said actuating handle means includes a crank for moving said surfboard in said surfboard exercising movement, and a handle device coupled to said crank for actuate said crank to move said surfboard.  
     
     
         11 . The surfboard simulating exerciser according to  claim 10  further comprising a base, said handle device including a lower portion pivotally secured to said base, and a link coupled between said handle device and said crank.  
     
     
         12 . The surfboard simulating exerciser according to  claim 11 , wherein said handle device includes a tube having a lower portion pivotally secured to said base and having an upper portion, and a bar adjustably secured in said upper portion of said tube.
