Description

Select Christmas delivery under delivery times and we’ll make your board now, set it aside and send it early to mid December. Last year, Christmas orders closed in early November and processing reached 21 to 30 business days because we make every board ourselves. This option closes once we reach our Christmas order limit, so get in early! Please note anything you order will be sent with the board.

Also! No need to wait for a sale. Our balance boards never go on sale. You’re already getting our best price, all year round.

Old-school surf vibes, plenty of good times 🤙

Our Retro Surf Balance Board brings a fresh look to your balance sessions, featuring our new Barefoot & Salty logo on the Original board shape you know and love.

Designed and made by surfers and skaters right here in Australia, it’s ready for flat days, rainy afternoons and a little friendly competition in the lounge room.

Practise your balance, work your core and build confidence for your next surf or skate. Whether you’re finding your feet or fine-tuning your skills, choose your roller to suit your ability and make it your own.

Made with kids and beginners in mind, with plenty of fun for the grown-ups too. Fair warning though… you might buy it for the kids and end up keeping it for yourself haha!

Please note these are made to order and have a 7-14 business day making time and a 14-21 business day making time during November to December before we send them. Then add shipping times.

Every board is made by us right here in Australia using hand-selected FSC-certified premium pine. Lightweight, strong and full of natural timber character, each one is a little different.

Choose your setup

The roller makes the biggest difference to how challenging your board feels. Start small while you build confidence, then size up when you’re ready for more of a challenge. Not sure what roller or board to get? Check out our What cork roller and balance board do I need? blog.

Each board is made to order. Please check the current making time before ordering and allow additional time for delivery.

Disclosure

Due to timber varying your balance board may look slightly lighter or darker. The wood grain will look different with every board, which means every board is one of a kind. This is something we can't control.

Our coloured boards will vary in colour. This is due to the stain being made to order and the boards are only made in very small batches.

Warning: Follow usage instructions that are sent to you carefully. Riding a surf balance board, especially using the medium roller can be dangerous. Always ride it according to your ability, learning slowly is the best way to learn. Falls and injuries can occur, this is a part of learning, just like a bike. Never try tricks or moves that you are not ready for or that are above your skill set.

If you lose your instructions just check your email inbox under 'Surf balance board instructions' as we also send you a digital copy. You can also tap this link anytime where we have included an instructional video: surf balance board safety instructions.

Caution: Always wear a helmet and protective gear whilst riding your surf balance board. Carefully read our safety instructions. Ride at your own risk.

Disclosure: The model in these photos and videos is an advanced rider and has been riding a skateboard confidently for over a year. Please learn at your own pace and follow instructions.

I love it!!

I had been eyeing these for years and life kept happening.. finally decided to get it for my toddler and we are still figuring out how to get him on it.. (he doesn’t like standing on it and simply sit down, enjoying it like a see-saw) but I am absolutely thrilled with it.. I keep it near my home-office desk and hop on it when I have a minute.. only doing 30 seconds stretches, with support, at the moment but it feels amazing and I can imagine how easily it will grow with me (and hopefully my toddler)!!

Great board! It feels strong

Great board! It feels strong, will help to re gain balance, specially if you are an older guy like me. When trying I felt that I lost my old balance and with this and patient (and hope not broke nothing). The three size corck rolls will help with how difficult you want. Great for surfers or snowboarders.

Awesome!

I have been eyeing this off for a while now and I was excited waiting for it to come. My daughter and I absolutely love it. I purchased the board with the starter cork rolls.
We have polished concrete floors so had to put a towel down under it for a but of grip. We can use both the 5cm and 8cm cork rolls perfectly.
Definitely would recommend

Thanks so much! we are so glad you & your daughter are loving the board with the starter cork rolls. Love that you are getting the hang of both the 5cm & 8cm rollers too.

It's a beauty

Got this for our 1 year old but he's still getting used to being bipedal, so his daddy is using this a lot more than him! Its so beautifully made, cant believe it's all done by hand, what a skill. Such cool branding too, love it guys thanks.

Thanks so much Charlotte love that dad is getting good use out of the board while your little one finds his feet. We are so glad you are loving the handmade quality & the branding too. Thanks for the love & support

This board is absolutely beautiful and fun for all ages! Recently, even our one-and-a-half-year-old has been learning to play along with his older sibling. It's a fantastic way for the whole family to enjoy balance training and have fun together.

Love Australian Made 🙌

Purchased the XL Surf Balance Board, (after lots of internet research), and could not be happier with the product. FANTASTIC Australian made quality. Ordering was easy and delivery fast. I'm using the board to improve my balance before attending a skateboard camp overseas next year 🛹. Thanks Barefoot and Salty for creating a brilliant product :)

Thank you so much Jen! Best of luck with your camp, I'm sure you'll smash it.

I love my new balance board ! I have taken up surfing later in life and need to work on my balance and core strength. I have started to practice on my balance board on the yoga mat so it is not too slippery and find that I am improving everyday ! I do it near a sideboard at the moment incase I fall ! It's loads of fun too. Thanks !

Thank you so much Emma! We are so stoked it's helping you improve you surfing skills!

My kids love the balance board and so do I!
It has helped them build confidence and balance on their surfboard.
It’s amazing watching how fast they have picked it up and how much they love the balance board when we can’t get to the beach.
Thank you!

I absolutely love this board. We live so far from the ocean now and I wanted my little girl to still learn to surf. It’s great fitness for me and it’s definitely improving her balance.
The design is lovely and the quality can not be faulted

Thank you so much Catherine! I’m so happy you can have a little bit of the ocean at home with you x

Purchased for my 1YO daughter - start ‘em young I say!
I honestly have so much fun on this, it’s kind of like “our” joint balance board haha my Little one loves to Jump on with me. Soon she’ll be shredding on her own……. Best purchase I’ve ever made that we both get joy out of!
