A sports board simulator (10) comprising a main frame assembly (11) which is suspended from an elevated anchor point so as to be free for at least limited pivoting and swinging movement about the anchor point, the main frame assembly (11) including arms (17) which can be gripped by a user and/or the user can be secured to the frame assembly (11) by a harness (25). An elongated board (40) upon which the user may stand is suspended from the main frame assembly (11) via an intermediate frame (36) which permits the board (40) to move relative to the main frame assembly (11) about a pivot axis (C-C) extending transversely of the main frame assembly (11). The board (40) is also capable of pivoting about further axes D-D, E, and F.
A sports board simulator comprising a main frame assembly adapted to be suspended from a single elevated anchor point whereby said frame assembly is free for at least limited rotational pivoting and swinging movement about said anchor point, said main frame assembly being adapted to be gripped by or secured to a user of said simulator, an elongated board adapted to support said user, and suspension means suspending said board directly or indirectly from said main frame assembly, said suspension means being connected at a pair of spaced pivot points to said main frame assembly, said pivot points being spaced apart along a first pivot axis extending transversely of said main frame assembly, said suspension means permitting said board to move freely relative to said main frame assembly about said pivot points.
A sports board simulator as claimed 10 wherein said releasable securing means comprise a belt or harness provided with releasable attachment means to enable the belt or harness to be secured around the rider's waist or hips.
A sports board simulator as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein said board suspension means are connected to opposite lateral sides of the board and centrally of the board and on an axis extending transversely of the board.
A sports board simulator as claimed in any one of the preceding claims and including means for resisting pivotal movement of the main frame assembly about a vertical axis.
