Abstract
The invention is a wakeboard training device utilizing a trampoline for the jumping surface and a tow rope structure for the control for the rider. The jumping surface can be inclined to improve simulating wave support and the trampoline improves safety and training efficiency. A training park would include connecting four of these devices together to form a quadrangle shape to maximize room efficiency so that multiple riders can train safely in a room. It would also allow one rider to perform 360 degree tricks about the pivot center of the device.
