A ride surface (150) for water ride attractions (100) and the like is provided. The ride surface (150) is fabricated from a reinforced membrane material (300) tensioned over a supporting framework (110). The tensioned membrane ride surface (150) serves the dual role of providing structural support for water flow (170) and riders (10) thereon while at the same time providing an impact safe surface that is non-injurious to riders who may fall thereon. The tensioned membrane (300) can be adjusted actively and/or passively in order to accommodate different and varied ride experiences. Optionally, the shape of the membrane ride surface can be changed either dynamically or passively by special tensioning techniques and/or by using auxiliary support structures such as air bladders, pressure/suction, foam supports or/or the like.
L'invention concerne une surface de course (150) pour attractions de course aquatique (100) ou analogues. La surface de course (150) est fabriquée avec un matériau membranaire renforcé (300) tendu sur un cadre de support (110). La surface de course (150) à membrane tendue a pour double rôle d'offrir un support de structure pour le débit d'eau (170) et les surfistes (10) montés sur le support, et de fournir une surface antichoc sûre, non préjudiciable aux surfistes qui tombent. La membrane tendue (300) peut être réglée de façon dynamique ou passive pour l'adapter à des expériences de course différentes et variées. Facultativement, la forme de la surface de course à membrane peut être modifiée de façon dynamique ou passive par des techniques de tension et/ou par l'utilisation de structures de support auxiliaires, telles que vessies gazeuses, dispositif de pression-aspiration, supports en mousse ou analogues.
