## Abstract

The invention relates to a unit for training in water-based traction board sports and for recreational purposes, formed by an essentially rectangular liquid-filled pool (1) comprising the following components arranged from one end of the pool to the other, namely: a liquid suction and backflow area (2), an area (3) in which a wave of the liquid is created and conditioned, a gliding area (4), and a liquid recovery area (5). The invention is suitable for use in training in water-based board sports and for recreational purposes.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A unit for training in water-based traction board sports and for recreational purposes, comprising a pool (1) which is substantially rectangular in shape and filled with liquid and which comprises, from one end to the other, a suction and backflow area (2) for this liquid, an area (3) in which a wave of this liquid is created and conditioned, a gliding area (4) and a recovery area (5) for this liquid, characterised in that the gliding area (4) comprises a platform (9) which is substantially horizontal and is kept in position in the pool (1) by all known means, said platform (9) being situated slightly above the level of the liquid in the pool (1) and slightly below the level of the converging device (8).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A unit according to claim 1, characterised in that the liquid suction and backflow area (2) comprises a suction-force pump unit (7), allowing the liquid to circulate from the recovery area towards the creation and conditioning area (3).

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A unit according to claim 1, characterised in that the area (3) in which a wave of the liquid is created and conditioned comprises a converging device (8) which is kept in position in the pool (1) by all known means and of which the inlet is fed with liquid by the pump unit (7) and the outlet is arranged at the beginning and slightly above the gliding area (4).

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A unit according to claim 1, characterised in that the recovery area (5) is arranged at the other end of the pool (1) in relation to the suction and backflow area (2).

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A unit according to claim 1, characterised in that the recovery area (5) is covered by a net (10) or any other equivalent means of protection.
