Indo Board Professional Balance Trainer - Clear

Product Information

The balance and coordination skills learned using the RevBalance Swell 2.0 translate into tangible improvements in the water. In addition, the Swell makes for a fun toy around the house when friends come over. From Indo Board's beginnings as a way to practice surfing balance and technique on dry land - to the global spread of all board sports, Indo Board is the balance board used by champions world wide. When doing the push ups, go down to a 90* angle and make sure to hold a steady pace. An ideal rate is 2 seconds on the up and 4 on the down. Be careful, because if you push it too far, your board might slide out one direction, leaving you to fall face first into the roller. This board is 18″ x 30″ inches (or 45cm x 76cm). The foam roller is 6″ x 36″ inches (or 15cm x 91cm).

Balance boards are typically made from wood or plastic. Wood options may be more durable, while plastic options may be more comfortable to use. So, keep your priorities in mind as you shop, and opt for a balance board that suits them. Once you’re on the balance board, options abound. You can stand on the board during squats, place your hands on the board during planks, or place your feet on the board during glute bridges. “I like having patients stand with one leg and adding a dynamic challenge, like catching a ball, when the person is able,” says Malek. Balance training is a major part of the workout routines of most serious surfers. Professionals and hobbyists alike, there are two main reasons you want to utilize a balance trainer: improving strength when training & maintaining strength when you can't make it into the water. We look forward to getting one of our Indo Boards into your hands very soon! Before starting on your Indo Board, please ensure you read, understand and follow the basic safety precautions and how to get started on your Indo Board. Use of the Indo Board is at your own risk.

The benefits aren't limited to surfers though, professional athletes from all sports are discovering instability and balance training workouts. The benefits come from the strengthening of peripheral muscles and forcing your body to use its core to stay balanced. Rather than working one muscle, instability training works a whole range of muscles, even some very small ones that might get ignored, but which are crucial to your sport. When it’s time to step off your balance board, be sure to be as careful as you were getting on your balance board. Use a nearby wall or a sturdy piece of furniture to steady yourself as you climb down. It makes for excellent entertainment. But, if you’re a surfing or skateboarding novice, fear not; the Swell allows you to start slow and work your way up to becoming a balance board aficionado. Whatever your motivation for using the Indo Board, the end result is the same; increased core strength, leg strength and balance coordination. But this Indo Board can be so much more than a core fitness trainer. Integrate it with other equipment to fully exercise your upper body and lower body and make it a one stop shop for your home exercise needs. The Indo Board Balance Trainer is the most versatile balance board product available in the market today. Originally designed for surf balance training in the 1970’s by surfer Hunter Joslin, the product’s simplicity has enabled it to become a truly multifunctional fitness tool. Most importantly it is FUN!

According to Leada Malek, PT, a board-certified sports specialist and physical therapist, balance boards can have a positive impact on "balance, coordination, motor skills, and lower extremity muscle strength." And since you can place your hands or feet on them, balance boards can be a great way to make your workout routine more dynamic. The RevBalance Swell 2.0 is specifically designed for surfers and skateboarders and handcrafted locally in the USA. If you can’t get out for a shred, then the Revolution Swell is the ideal indoor replacement for surfing. The stance taken on the board and the general instability is very similar to standing while paddling a SUP. That is really as close as this one gets to surfing, the rest is just general fitness, great for a surfer but equally so for an active person of any sort.

The Whirly Board is designed primarily to be used in an office with a standing desk setup. Instead of a roller, it comes with a fully adjustable air cushion base, making it easier to balance. As you improve your balance, you can inflate the base for more of a challenge. The URBNFit Wooden Balance Board Trainer is our top choice for a solid, durable board with a classic shape. A textured surface makes it the ideal choice for almost any kind of balance exercise. The safety guides are recommended to prevent the board from shooting out from underneath you. To make the safety guides I just cut the corners off the board and then screwed them into the bottom. I made mine out of plywood and a foam roller. You can probably have the wood cut at the lumber store for free. If you have a saw and drill at home you can add safety guides to the bottom. The safety guides will prevent the board from flying out from underneath you. These are a great maneuver for all surfers because it fine tunes your ability to get low and generate power with your legs. Your bottom turn requires you to compress and drive which uses the same muscles as a squat. By doing these on an Indo board you will make sure you are applying power evenly which will ensure you are riding your surfboard on the sweet spot.
