Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport and sliding device for surfboards with a guided water flow influencing the surfboard.
  • the technical problem which is solved according to claim 1 of the invention, is the construction of a transport and sliding device with a novel surface that allows surfing on special boards with much lower energy consumption than in the previously known artificial surf waves with a continuously closed thick water film , With this surface, much larger surfable areas with large differences in height can be built, since a large part of the water flows upwards in flexible hoses.
  • the new surface enables the surfer to move upwards with the surfboard thanks to the water column flowing upwards in the hose system.
  • Another embodiment of the invention consists in that on the upper side of the hoses, in addition to their inner water columns in the hose system, water jets are superficially sprayed upwards and, when hitting the folded surfboard, additionally pushing it upwards.
  • An additional embodiment of the invention consists in the special structure of the side edge of the board, which is designed as a sliding and squeezing edge with a circular cross section.
  • Fig. 1 Overall view - surfer on a transport and sliding device shown only partially, not in full length and width.
  • Fig. 2 Section through the surf board on the sliding surface.
  • the new transport and sliding device for surfboards consists of a large number of flexible, parallel, and side by side, woven, high-strength plastic tubes 1 with different lengths. These hoses are mounted at an angle 2 to the reference surface in a straight line, curved or in a combined form of straight and glued sections on a base made of various materials.
  • the number of tubes 1 placed next to each other depends on whether it is a transport and gliding device for individual surfers or for several surfers at the same time.
  • the individual tubes are held in precise position with respect to one another by metal or plastic profiles, and at the same time these enable the tubes to be squeezed exactly by the board edge 5 sliding over them (sliding and squeezing edge).
  • the transport and sliding surface thus created can now either be placed on a solid surface or freely installed with spacers.
  • water is pumped upwards by a commercially available pump system 10. 3.
  • the weight of the surfer clamps the hose through the tilting, sliding and squeezing edge 5 of the board and that in the hose upwards flowing water column 3 thus pushes the board with the surfer standing on it upwards.
  • the water pressure in the flexible hoses is adjusted so that the weight of an average heavy surfer is sufficient to squeeze the hose to zero over the entire length of the side edge of the board, which is designed as a sliding and squeezing edge 5. So the surfer can use both the buoyancy by the water jet 8 and the water column 3 flowing upwards in the tube in the sliding phase.
  • the dimensions of the newly developed board which is made of wood, plastic, metal or combinations of these materials, is tailored to the size and weight of the person surfing with it.
  • the tilting, sliding and squeezing edge goes directly on the underside of the board into an impact surface - 6 over r - which ensures optimal power transmission from the impinging water jet to the board at different angles of the board.
  • the kinetic energy from the water jet 8 is transferred to the board without major losses.
  • Boarding for the athlete is either possible in the upper end of the surfing sports area, particularly suitable for beginners, since they start to slide immediately, or advanced athletes can also get in the area below the surfing sports area and use the buoyancy to glide up over the area ,
  • the transport and gliding devices according to the invention can now either be set up floating on a float, placed directly in a lake, stand in a hall with a portable or permanently installed pool, or be placed in the wild on a slope with a water catchment pool in the lower area of the surfing area.
