Abstract: An amusement apparatus is disclosed which simulates the riding experience encountered in ocean surfing, composed generally of a shaped slope having plural, stationary wave forms and multiple surface irregularities, covered with a plurality of interconnected vinyl-coated foam sections, and including an irrigation system to distribute a thin film of water over the upper-surface of the apparatus. The interconnected prefabricated sections yield an inclined planing surface which is adapted to slightly deform in response to shifting body weight of a user thereby permitting a user to turn and maneuver during travel down the apparatus on a surfboard-like vehicle.
