The surf simulator is the standing-up version of the rodeo bull.
Instead of sitting and holding horns, you stand on a surfboard-
shaped platform and shift your weight to stay upright as the base
bucks and rotates beneath you. It's a balance challenge rather
than a grip challenge, and it's harder than it looks.
Our operator controls the difficulty from a handheld unit while a
digital timer tracks each ride. We can run leaderboard
competitions and hand out certificates. The surfboard sits in
the middle of an inflatable cushioned bed, so when you fall -
and everyone falls - you land safely.
It's a natural fit for beach parties, Hawaiian nights and summer-
themed events. It also works at corporate team-building days
where you want something physically active but accessible. Our
operator adjusts the difficulty per rider, so it works across a
wide range of ages and confidence levels.
You stand on the surfboard and shift your weight to stay upright. It's a different challenge to the rodeo bull - footwork and balance rather than holding on.
Digital Timer and Leaderboards
A digital timer tracks each ride so the whole room can see. We can run a leaderboard across the event and hand out certificates for the top riders.
Trained Operator
A trained DB operator controls the ride from a handheld unit, adjusting the intensity per rider. Everything's handled - delivery, setup, operation and pack-down.
Inflatable Safety Bed
The surfboard sits in the centre of an inflatable cushioned bed. When you fall - and everyone falls - you land safely on the surround.

Standard hire is 3 hours for £345, with additional hours at
£50/hr. Our operator adjusts speed and difficulty per rider so
it works across a wide range of ages.
It uses the same base unit as the rodeo bull
- the surfboard is one of several attachments that fit the same
machine. If you're building a package, we can bring both and
swap the attachment halfway through.
