Watersport board simulator and training device

Abstract

A device that simulates a wakesurf board for use in practicing spins. The device includes a casing assembly and bearings, a flange structure continues a lower section of the bearing assembly, a flange structure continues an upper section of the bearing assembly, and a platform continues the former flange structure. The casing assembly has an outer ring with an internal raceway and an inner ring and an external raceway. The bearings are positioned between the internal raceway and the external raceway. The outer ring and the inner ring have a concentric dimension and share an axis of rotation, and the outer ring independently rotates about the axis of rotation. The platform spins about the axis of rotation in response to force asserted against the surface of the platform. The platform spins with minimal traversal through the platform's horizontal plane.
