The Bongo Board is a Blast to Ride

The Bongo Balance Board Lets You Have Fun As You Improve Strength and Stability



Condition Muscles to Increase Coordination

This balance board works by conditioning your muscles' core stability and reflexes that act upon the body's sense of equilibrium, allowing proper distribution of body weight. The Bongo Board develops balance and coordination skills essential to most sports and daily activities. Skateboarders, snowboarders, and surfers will find that the Bongo Board helps to improve skills during the off-seasons.


Complete Exercise Guide Included

While your own creativity sets the limit, the included booklet offers tips and maneuvers to try and to master, ranging from basic to advanced. Be sure to start out using a spotter or support of some sort until you become accustomed to the movement of the board. Consult a physician before starting this or any other exercise program.

Benefits of using the Bongo Board


Balance - Static and Dynamic for enhanced sport and fitness participation.
Postural Awareness - To correct inefficient body movements with little physical effort.

Proprioception - The body's internal mechanisms for enhancing muscular movements that then call upon 'memories' stored in the muscles, bones and connective tissues to repeat a performance later on.
Kinesthetic Sense - Enhances ability to judge the position of your body in space.

Stability - Improve balance, reducing the risk of falls and injuries associated with various sports and everyday activities.

Mobility - Retraining the body to move impulsively and freely without limitation.

Body Awareness - Learn via feelings/stimulus created by the board to instinctively be aware of muscles, muscle groups and limbs as they work to stabilize the body.

Confidence - The direct result of learning body awareness through balance conditioning.

Visual Challenge: To challenge your balance recovery ability, try the following exercises. Attempt only when a high confidence level has been achieved on the Bongo Board.

Play with eyes open and eyesclosed during exercises.
When eyes are opened, explore the balance challenge of gently moving the head and neck up and down and then side to side.

To enhance performance try to stabilize the head, neck and upper body.
Focus vision ahead into the horizon, but soften your gaze to enhance the peripheral field of vision. How far to the sides can you see while focusing ahead?

Skill Progression: As you progress and gain confidence on your Bongo Board, you may like to try some tricks to further enhance and develop your balance coordination.

Outside Magazine says "Ride the halfpipe at home! Bang up techniques for mastering the Bongo Balance Board, the snowboarder's best friend."
