The present invention provides a miniature live-action surfing attraction and associated surf game specifically adapted for use with one or more surf toy action figures. The surf toy action figures are mountable to a surf board appropriately sized and weighted to provide relatively stable or semi-stable surf-riding action upon a sheet flow of water flowing up an inclined ride surface of the reduced scale attraction. Various surf action figures may be set free upon the ride surface, or they may be constrained or partially constrained by wires, strings, magnets or the like, as desired. Alternatively, or in addition, they may be controlled via a remote control, or radio control transmitter, as desired. Thus, a fun and entertaining game is created that provides realistic live-action surfing within a relatively small or confined area.

A thin, firm material base (10) with a slotted tube (20) and attached clip (40) assembly inserted through the base and secured to the base (10) with bolt retainers (30). The bolt retainers (30) keep the tube (20) secure within the base (10). The base (10) is encased in a split cylindrical foam material to provide for support, shape and proper alignment when used in an internal application such as a puppet wrist. In addition a rod with a ground end can be temporarily inserted into the tube (20) and attached clip (40) assembly, providing a temporary, yet secure connection while allowing for rotational movement of the rod (60) within the tube (20). The temporarily secure connection is a result of the friction of the inserted rod (60) coming into contact with the straight side of the clip (40) within the interior diameter of the tube (20). For the temporary secure connection to take place, the rod must be inserted into the tube past the point of engaging the straight side of the clip (40) within the interior diameter of the tube (20). The connection can be disengaged by grasping and pulling the rod (60), out of the tube (20), thus releasing the friction between the clip (40) and the rod (60).

The invention further discloses an assembling method of the puppet.

A male terminal fitting (1) is formed by bending a flat metal plate worked into a specified shape and includes a contact (2), a rectangular tube (4) formed to be wider than the contact (2), and a link (3) between the contact (2) and the rectangular tube (4). The link (3) is not connected with the front edge of the upper surface of the rectangular tube (4) over the entire width. Thus, bending resistance against an external force can be improved by increasing deflectability while holding down bending rigidity.
