What Balance Board Do I Need?

When choosing a balance board, it’s less about age or skill level and more about what you want to get out of your board. From toddlers to teens, beginners to pros, all of our balance boards can be used by all ages - it's the roller that determines the difficulty level.

Below is a breakdown of each of our epic boards and what they’re best used for. Keep in mind — these are just recommendations. Every board can be used in a variety of ways!

Retro/Surf Balance Board – The All-Rounder

Our best-seller and original board. If you're unsure which board to pick, this is the one. It’s the perfect all-rounder for anyone looking to improve balance, strength, and coordination.

Best for:

• General balance and core training

• Skateboarders (size and shape similar to a traditional skateboard)

• Surfers working on technique and stability

• Daily home workouts

Not ideal for:

• People with large feet (Men’s size 11+ may find toes hang off)

• Use with the cork ball (board size is too narrow for safe ball use)

XL Retro Surf Balance Board - More Room, More Flow

Just like the Retro/Surf Board but 5cm wider, offering more surface area for stability and movement.

Best for:

• Surf-style training

• General balance and core workouts

• Yoga, stretching, or mobility exercises

• People with larger feet (more foot room!)

• Families sharing one board

Not ideal for:

• Skateboard tricks (wider than a skateboard deck)

Tail Balance Boards - Sailfish & Orca

These boards have the same dimensions as the Retro and XL boards, just with a tail shape for a stylish twist.

Best for:

• Those who love unique designs or a surfy aesthetic

• Same function as the Retro and XL boards

Not ideal for:

• Skateboarders focused on trick training (shape doesn't mimic skateboard decks)

Retro 3-in-1 Pro Trainer - The Ultimate Training Weapon

This is our most advanced and versatile balance board. Designed for serious board sport training and full-body workouts.

Comes with:

• Cork ball for high-level balance training (great for surfers and snowboarders)

• Cork dome for fitness exercises like lunges, planks, squats, and more

Best for:

• Surfers wanting to level up their balance and technique

• Snowboarders looking to simulate carving at home

Need Help Choosing?

If you're buying for a family, we recommend the 3-in-1 Pro Trainer paired with a 5cm/8cm beginner roller set. That way, everyone from kids to advanced athletes can safely enjoy the board and level up at their own pace.
