Abstract

A multi-purpose surfing balancer is comprised of a base plate, a resilient rubber body, a step-on board, and a central pole; wherein, the bottom surface of rubber body being fixed to the middle of the top of the base plate; the top of the base plate being fixed to where at the middle of the bottom of the step-on board; the central pole being fixed to the surface of the step-on board for the user to stand upon the step-on board with both feet splitting over both ends of the resilient rubber body in position to practice balancing or surfing by the support of the resilient rubber body and swing motion controlled by the user.

Claims

1. A multi-purpose surfing balancer includes a base plate, a resilient rubber body, a step-on board, and a handlebar pole, wherein, the base plate, in a given thickness, having at its top provided with the resilient rubber body;

the resilient rubber body, having its bottom being fixed to where at the middle of the top of the base plate and its top being fixed to where at the middle of the bottom of the step-on board, a through hole being provided at the center of the resilient rubber body, and a rubber rod being inserted into the through hole;

the step-on board having provided at where in relation with the through hole in the resilient rubber body a cover plate, multiple holes being provided on the board; and

multiple grains for massage purpose being provided on the top of board; and

the handlebar pole having connected to its bottom a plate, a pin being provided on the top of the plate to be inserted into the hole in the step-on board, and a handlebar being provided to the top of the pole characterized by that the resilient rubber body being fixed between the base plate and the step-on board for a user to stand on the step-on board with both feet splitting over both ends of the resilient rubber body to swing to work out while enjoying the excitement of surfing or to exercise around the resilient rubber body by holding the handlebar either sitting in a chair or on the step-on board.

2. The multi-purpose surfing balancer as claimed in claim 1, wherein, multiple fixation plates are provided on the upper and the lower edges of the resilient rubber body and a screw hole is each provided to the fixation plate to secure with a bolt the resilient rubber body to those holes on the surface of the base plate and the bottom of the step-on board.

3. The multi-purpose surfing balancer as claimed in claim 1, wherein, two through holes are provided on the surface of the base plate and another two holes are provided on the bottom of the step-on, and an arc plane is each extending from one side of the hole to receive the insertion and secure each corresponding fixation plate provided on the upper and the lower edges of the resilient rubber body.

4. The multi-purpose surfing balancer as claimed in claim 1, wherein, both upper and lower ends of the resilient rubber body are threaded and at where in relation to both threaded ends of the resilient rubber body, both of the step-on board and the base plate are respectively threaded to engage the resilient rubber body.

5. The multi-purpose surfing balancer as claimed in claim 1, wherein, both upper and lower edges of the resilient rubber body are each lined with an iron sheet.

6. The multi-purpose surfing balancer as claimed in claim 1, wherein, a cover plate is provided on the step-on board at where in relation to the through hole provided in the resilient rubber body to cover up an additional resilient rod inserted into the through hole to vary the resilient of the resilient rubber body as preferred by the user.
