BALANCE BOARDS
A balance board, also called a trick board, is a training tool which is aimed at many target groups, but is particularly brilliant for the water sports enthusiast. So, if you regularly have a board under your feet, a balance board is a good tool that can help you improve your balance, flexibility and ankle strength. Important features that benefit you on the water! If you are in doubt as to whether a balance board is for you, you are more than welcome to visit one of our many physical Westwind surf shops. Here you will most often find a demo model that is available for free use.
A balance board set simply consists of a board and a roller. The board will typically be produced in wood, while the roller is in solid molded plastic. Next, just place the board on the roller, stand up on the board and start training your balance. Check out our Westwind Trickboard set if you are unsure which set is right for you. The set can be supplemented with an original Trickboard carpet. The carpet provides a good surface to train on, and protects both the floor, balance board and roller from scratches and scuffs.
A balance board is suitable for use indoors and outdoors. Board and roller do not weigh much and can be easily transported around. If the sun is shining and the surface is dry, it's just time to start practicing on the terrace. If, on the other hand, it's gray and cold outside, it's just a matter of rolling out the Trickboard mat on the living room floor and start practicing. The possibilities are many and with a balance board you are guaranteed a fun way to develop your balance.
