TRAINING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SURFING USING SOLITARY WAVE CHANNEL

摘要

The invention relates to a wave channel having a body of water therein with a wave generator that creates periodic waves that travel from one end to another upon which novice surfers can surf for training purposes. The front side wall is preferably made of see-through material and a flexible protective barrier is preferably provided to prevent errant surfers and boards from damaging the side wall. One or more wave dampening systems can be provided, such as at either end of the channel, to help reduce or eliminate unwanted rip currents and wave reflections within the channel.
