Customer Rating:      Summary: Great for the family - a skill builder Comment: 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!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Tricky but well-made Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:      Summary: WONDERFUL GIFT Comment: THIS IS THE SECOND BALANCE BOARD THAT I HAVE PURCHASED. LAST YEAR I PURCHASED IT FOR CHRISTMAS FOR MY 9 YR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER AND HER COUSIN LOVED IT SO MUCH THAT I GOT ONE FOR HIM FOR THIS CHRISTMAS. HE IS 13!
KEEPS THEM PHYSICALLY FIT AND ENTERTAINED AT THE SAME TIME.
LOVE IT AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Balance Board Comment: This toy is exactly like the Indo boards that are almost twice the price. It is SO much fun for anyone, but it is also wonderful for skateboarders, surfers, dancers, any athlete, and anyone who wants to improve thier balance. Physical therapists often use a board and a foam roller to help patients. I would not recommend it for anyone under the age of 8, but you can hardly seperate kids from them. Is a great ab and thigh exercise you can do while watching tv. Make sure to try on a carpet surface first. Board can shot out suddenly if you lean over to far. Need at least a four or five foot open space to do it safely.
Customer Rating:      Summary: WOW is this fun! Comment: Woaaaaaaaaaa! Woooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaa! I am 35 and that is what my friends are saying when they get on it. It is fun...really, really fun. Unfortunately you'll be waiting in line to use it. My husband and I use it, our neighbors use it, my 2 1/2 year old uses it, and my five year old and her friends use it (It takes a while to get it, but with practice and patience, it's doable). This is going to be one of those things that just doesn't get put away. It is pure unadulterated fun, and very basic. If you are using it correctly, you'll be breathing harder afterwards, and your abs and thighs will burn. Very good exercise. Good price for the product, esp. with the good reviews and competing items for double the price.
