Skimboard simulation pool and system for simulating skimboarding

Abstract

Various embodiments of this invention disclose a self-contained, water inflated, and water filled, pool with a continuous source of filling water that allows users to skim, sluice, or slide on the surface of the water with personal water boards, such as skimboards.

1 . A skimboard simulation pool, comprising:
 a plurality of inflatable walls, and   a bottom lining;   wherein said plurality of inflatable walls and said bottom lining define an interior space of said skimboard simulation pool;   wherein said plurality of inflatable walls have an exterior surface and an interior surface that enclose a liquid inflation fluid; and   wherein the depth of said inflatable walls is adjustable by inflation or deflation.   
   
   
       2 . The skimboard simulation pool of  claim 1 , wherein said interior space is continuously filled with a filling liquid such that the depth of said filling liquid matches the depth of said inflatable walls. 
   
   
       3 . The skimboard simulation pool of  claim 2 , wherein said filling liquid is delivered in a continuous and even flow. 
   
   
       4 . The skimboard simulation pool of  claim 3 , wherein said filling liquid is delivered by an evenly spaced water spray system. 
   
   
       5 . The skimboard simulation pool of  claim 4 , further comprising a skimboard that is capable of allowing a user to hydroplane on the surface of said skimboard simulation pool. 
   
   
       6 . The skimboard simulation pool of  claim 1 , further comprising a skimboard that is capable of allowing a user to hydroplane on the surface of said skimboard simulation pool. 
   
   
       7 . A skimboard simulation pool, comprising:
 a plurality of inflatable walls,   a bottom lining, and   a skimboard;   wherein said plurality of inflatable walls and said bottom lining define an interior space of said skimboard simulation pool;   wherein said plurality of inflatable walls have an exterior surface and an interior surface that enclose a liquid inflation fluid;   wherein the depth of said inflatable walls is adjustable by inflation or deflation;   wherein said interior space is continuously filled with a filling liquid such that the depth of said filling liquid matches the depth of said inflatable walls;   wherein said filling liquid is delivered in a continuous and even flow by an evenly spaced water spray system; and   wherein said skimboard that is capable of allowing a user to hydroplane on the surface of said skimboard simulation pool.   
   
   
       8 . A system of simulating skimboarding without using a natural body of water, comprising:
 a self-contained, water inflated, and water filled pool;   a continuous source of filling water; and   a skimboard;   wherein the depth of said pool is adjustable;   wherein a user runs at said pool, places said skimboard on a surface of said filling water, mounts said skimboard, and hydroplanes across said surface of said filling water; and   wherein a side of said pool does not abruptly stop said user, but instead deforms and then rebounds in response to said user entering or exiting said pool.
