TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS

Barefoot or with shoes?

Balance barefoot or with light footwear! The textured surface gives you the grip you need for your entire trick repertoire.

Getting started made easy

Start with both feet centered on the board and find your balance. Hold onto a wall or chair at first until you feel secure. Once you gain confidence, you can experiment with small weight shifts.

The right mat

We recommend our cork mat for secure grip, floor protection, and a more comfortable, quieter training experience – especially in apartments.

Progression & variation

Vary your standing position, try different exercises, and gradually increase intensity. Advanced users can integrate additional weights or dynamic movements.

Storage & care

With the matching balance board stand, your board stays ready to use and looks stylish. Simply wipe with a damp cloth – avoid using aggressive cleaning agents.

Fun way to improve your skateboard skills

The shorty board is the perfect choice if you are looking for a fun way to improve your manual (wheeling) skills for skateboarding.
