Surfing Simulator

Abstract

An apparatus and method of using the same for simulating surfing skateboarding, snowboarding or the like. The apparatus comprises a platform capable of supporting a user such as a continuous elastic surface such as trampoline or similar. A support is coupled to the platform for holding the platform. The apparatus further comprises a bearing or similar assembly coupled to the support for allowing the platform to rotate about an axis which is displaced a distance from the user while standing atop the platform during simulation thus simulating bottom and top turns. The apparatus further comprises a stand coupled to the bearing for securely supporting the bearing and tilting the axis of rotation.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a) a platform capable of supporting a user;   b) a support coupled to the platform for holding the platform;   c) a bearing coupled to the support for allowing the platform to rotate about an axis which is displaced a distance from the user while standing atop the platform; and   d) a stand coupled to the bearing for securely supporting the bearing at an angle relative to level and allowing the platform to rotate about a tilted axis relative to level.
