Title:
SURFING WAVE-MAKING APPARATUS AND SURFING PRACTICE FACILITY EQUIPPED WITH SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/105090
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a surfing wave-making apparatus that is capable of making the so-called tubular plunging breakers which are suitable for surfing, and which have continuous crests ranging from a collapse stage to a stage immediately before collapse. [Solution] The present invention is provided with: a container body 110 that is open at the front thereof, is equipped with at least a bottom part and lateral plates, and is capable of trapping water in part of the interior space thereof; and a transfer path 120 that allows the container body 110 to travel thereon and that is equipped with an inclined-surface track 121 and an intra-pool track 123. The container body 110 falls along the inclined-surface track 121, plunges into water of the pool as a result of a free-fall motion, and travels on the intra-pool track 123 in the direction of a play area of the pool in a state of at least partially being submerged below the waterline of the pool. As the container body 110 decelerates, only the water held thereinside is thrust forward in the form of an isolated traveling wave 202 so as to produce a plunging breaker suitable for surfing.
