Watersports physical simulation apparatus and method

Abstract

A miniature wave pool system includes a basin for holding water and surrounded and defined by one or more sidewalls. The basin includes a bottom surface that is contoured with at least one upward slope relative to a source of a water flow, to generate at least an appearance of a wave on which a miniature board or skis can be floated against and controlled by a user's fingers. The pool system further includes one or more pumps positioned under the upward slope that defines a compartment for the one or more pumps, the one or more pumps providing the water flow to generate the at least appearance of the wave. The pool system further includes a modular reef that is insertable into and removable from the basin to alter, configure, or arrange a desired bathymetry of the bottom surface of the basin.
