Indo Boards for training

Postby waterdog62 » Wed Apr 09, 2008 7:01 pm

:D does anyone use the Indo Boards for training, and if so which board, what type of work out do you do and what do you think of the results, etc.

I had one in the UK (couldnt bring it to Oz without filling in loads of quarantine paperwork because its made out of wood).

It definitely helped with balance and flexibility, and to a small extent technique. And it was fun too.

I'd rather build one myself than buying those overpriced things

:D Thanks for the replys, sounds like something that's okay but maybe for $30. not $100. :roll:

I have an indoboard. It mimics surfing to a certain extent. I would go and buy a longboard skateboard, your surfing will improve much much faster, if you get good at pumping on a longboard skateboard. Also, just surf more you'll get better haha

I own a balance board that I made. They do help greatly with balance although I longboard (downhill and LDP mostly) as well so that probably makes a great difference then just using the balance board alone.
