 Great for all ages FUN!!! November 3, 2008
This was a great gift for my six year old and he and his dad can
play on it all the cousins ages 5-17 played with it for hours at
a party!!!
 Very Good... with a few issues October 9, 2008
I bought this product because it was the least expensive balance board I could find. I'm hoping it will improve my balance and also prepare me for learning how to snowboard (I've read elsewhere that it is supposed to be good training and strengthening) So far I absolutely love it. It is a GREAT workout, and it doesnt seem to get boring...even though its basically a piece of wood on top of a cylinder lol
I did have a few problems... When I first ordered the board, the one that came was defective. The screw in the cylinder part was stripped, and when I was on the board, it kind of um... fell apart. BUT, it really wasn't a problem because when I called the customer service number that came with the package, they sent me a brand new board and cylinder completely FREE. And the new one is built sturdy and is fine. Another problem is that the board I'm using is starting to appear somewhat warped...it doesn't lay flat on the floor anymore... this really isn't a problem as far as performance, but I'm wondering how long the board is going to last.
A few recommendations:
1. DO NOT use the balance board on any rough surfaces, it will ruin the wood of the cylinder.
2. The board is best on a smooth surface...wood, vinyl, tile, cement, or a very thin flat rug. It moves too slow on carpet.
3. Be prepared that the first time you use the board you might feel a bit dizzy lol I did at least... but it goes away the more you use it and the more comfortable you get
4. Start off holding on to something lol otherwise you may go flying... But again as you get more comfortable it becomes A LOT of fun... Some people can even do tricks with it... No clue how lol but that's what Ive heard...
So overall I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who is looking for strengthening/training in balance, a good workout, or just some fun. Even with the minor problems I've had, it is still a great product and a lot less expensive then other balance boards out there.
Great for the family - a skill builder September 11, 2008
This balance board was recommended by a teenage friend who is a good snowboarder. She said that using this balance board off-season made a big positive difference to her. My kids need help with their balance so I ordered it - I must say, it is a great balance/reaction builder that is fun. You can up the ante by playing video games or playing catch while balancing. Very well built and definitely worth the money!
Tricky but well-made April 13, 2008
This is well-made and sturdy, from solid wood. It's trickier to balance on than the one I used in P.T., probably because the wheel is larger. It will take a few days, but if you keep trying, you'll eventually be able to stay balanced for 30 seconds or more. My grandkids love to try it when they come over, but they're not as good as I am--yet! Should be good for the "core" muscles.
WONDERFUL GIFT September 28, 2007
