Mechanical surfboard simulator

A surfboard simulator device for training users in the sport of surfing comprising:

• a base adapted for placement on a ground surface;
• a surfboard unit including an elongated surfboard, the surfboard unit having a topside and an underside, wherein the topside has an area equivalent to an actual surfboard with a size sufficient to allow placement and free movement of a user's feet;
• an interconnection means for interconnecting the underside of the surfboard unit with the base wherein the interconnection means has mechanical means for allowing limited articulation between the surfboard unit and the base, and wherein the mechanical means for allowing limited articulation comprises a spring assembly, wherein the surfboard has a longitudinal axis and the spring assembly has bias means for providing greater stability for fore and aft pitch along the longitudinal axis of the surfboard than side-to-side roll transverse to the axis of the surfboard, wherein the bias means has a force of bias on the longitudinal axis of the surfboard comparatively greater than the bias transverse to the axis of the surfboard that simulates the degree of bias of an actual surfboard in aquatic conditions.
