There are those "wave machines" with "swimmers" or "bathers" (people wearing swimsuits at one end of the "tank," as families / people play in the water waiting to "jump at the next wave").  However, sometimes either dedicated versions or shared with above, plus-surfers allow some limited types of "surfers," (in the wave-machine generated waves at the "end of the tank"), whether that is body-surfing, skid-boarding, "Boogie™-boarding," or perhaps even actual surfing with a full-size surfboard.  I haven't personally seen the latter, but with bigger wave machines, I'd think it possible, even probable.  There may be some worldwide catalog of such attractions / water-park "tanks," I don't know.

These are not attraction=water_slide, they are something else.  Perhaps attraction=wave_tank, I'm not sure.
