Frequently Asked Questions about Balance Boards
Who is a Balance Board suitable for?
Balance Boards are suitable for all age groups – from children aged 2 and up (THE MINI) to adults in therapy and rehabilitation (THE MOTION ROCKER). Depending on the model, you can train playfully, prepare for board sports, stand actively in the office, or use THE BALANCE TRAINER PRO to train surf and longboard moves at home in a structured way.
Which Balance Board is suitable for beginners?
THE SHORTY is ideal for beginners. It offers a stable standing surface and controlled movement, allowing you to start training safely. THE MOTION ROCKER is also suitable for beginners, especially in a therapeutic context.
Do I need additional accessories?
Each Balance Board comes with the appropriate roller. To protect your floor, we recommend a cork mat (sold separately or included in the complete set). This way, you train quietly and protect your floor.
How often should I train with the Balance Board?
Even 10-15 minutes daily are enough to improve balance and core stability. You can integrate training flexibly into your daily routine – while brushing your teeth, in your home office, or as a warm-up before sports.
Can I lose weight with a Balance Board?
Balance Board training activates deep core muscles and burns calories, but it is primarily intended for balance, coordination, and core stability. In combination with other sports and a healthy diet, it can support you in losing weight.
Is Balance Board training good for the back?
Yes! Balance Board training activates the deep core muscles that stabilize your spine. THE MOTION ROCKER, in particular, is recommended by physiotherapists and is ideal for back pain or prevention.
Which Balance Board is best for surfers?
THE SURFER is specifically designed for advanced surfers. With its long standing surface, it enables realistic surf movements and cross-step training. For structured, progressive surf training, we recommend THE BALANCE TRAINER PRO – with a length of 179.5 cm and 3 adjustable difficulty levels, it is suitable for both beginners and advanced users and simulates real surf moves at home. THE SHORTY and THE TWIN-TIPPER are also well-suited for beginners in surf training.
From what age are Balance Boards suitable?
Balance Boards are suitable for all ages – individual abilities are crucial. THE MINI is ideal from about 2 years old. The next step is THE SHORTY STARTER KIT with a half roller – often from 4-5 years old. As soon as your child is ready, all models (SHORTY, SURFER, TWIN-TIPPER) are suitable. THE SURFER requires a lot of balance and core tension – most children feel comfortable with it only from about 10 years old, although there are of course exceptional talents. THE BALANCE TRAINER PRO with 3 adjustable difficulty levels is fun for the whole family – from beginner to advanced.
How do I care for my Balance Board?
Wipe the board regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme moisture. The cork roller requires no special care. With proper treatment, you will enjoy your handcrafted Balance Board for a long time.
What is the difference between a Balance Board and the Balance Trainer PRO?
A classic Balance Board trains balance and coordination specifically. THE BALANCE TRAINER PRO goes further: with 179.5 cm length, 3 difficulty levels, and asymmetrical setups, it simulates real surf and longboard movements – for structured, progressive training at home. Ideal for anyone who wants to systematically build up their surf training.
