SkillBoard: A 360 Degree Challenge... and a Whole Lot of Fun!
The media could not be loaded. I am really enjoying my new Skill Board. I have it set up in my living room and I jump on it for just a minute or two every time I am taking a break from work, cooking or other tasks around the house.It is a real plus that the board comes with an air pump, as this is something you will need to pump up the ball. Because the Skill Board comes with a pump (and an air pressure gauge), you don't need to go out and purchase an air pump for yourself. A real plus!The board itself is real high quality. It doesn't bend and will certainly last a long time. I use my Skill Board on a carpeted living room floor, but if you want to use the board elsewhere, you will want to make sure there is something relatively soft underneath it to ensure that the board doesn't get scratched up. In some instances, I wish the board could be used outside on the street or sidewalk, but luckily I have a place in my home where it is safe and convenient to use. This, however, is something to take into consideration when buying a Skill Board (or any other balance board for that matter) - Where are you going to put it?The ball itself is probably the weakest part of this product. My ball loses air and needs to be pumped up frequently. Other than that, the Skill Board is exactly what I hoped it would be.How hard is it to balance on the Skill Board? Well, I was surprised to find that I could balance on the board for about 1 to 2 minutes after only 1 week of practice. My first few attempts at the Skill Board were pretty embarrassing, but once I started getting up on the board, I found it easier and easier to gain a sense of balance. Holding onto a wall or some type of furniture really helps when you are just getting started.Now my big question is.... what's next? After you master balancing on the Skill Board, how do you take this thing to the next level? That's kind of where I am now. It would be great if there were some videos showing OTHER things you can do on the Skill Board besides just balancing on it. I need some more advanced HOW-TO videos like that in order for me to progress further.Overall, I really like the Skill Board. I think other balance boards would be too easy for me, as they just rock back and forth - left to right. But because the Skill Board is a 360 degree balance board, it is far more challenging and better simulates the experience of skateboarding, surfing or riding a snowboard.... and I really like that!

High quality product
I found this skill board to exceed any and all of my expectations. When i pulled the board out of the box, it was way nicer than I anticipated. The quality of the board is awesome. I went with the board without grip for the more natural feel and it feels awesome on my feet. Would definitely be slippery with socks. No grip is definitely a barefoot activity. I was bold and went right for 8 PSI with my balance ball. I would recommend starting a bit lower or at least moving to the carpet if you start at a higher PSI. I played with the board for about 45 minutes on the first day spending time getting used to it. I have been using it for 15 minutes a day now for the past week and a half and I have already seen awesome progress. My progress has been increased huge on the board but also in my activities. I can now get on the board and stay on it without holding onto something to get myself started. I am able to balance for a decent amount of time and am getting more and more confident every day. I notice that on my bike rides and while skiing, I am more aware of my "tipping points". I feel like when I am riding no handed on my bike I have a faster reaction time to correct my balance and better balance overall. Skiing I feel myself stronger in my core giving myself better stability when I go off of jumps and carving from edge to edge. I plan to continue to use this board for 10-15 minutes every day and look forward to continuing to improve my balance and strength which will help with all of my activities. You won't regret getting this board. Killer quality with real life benefits. I am honestly very impressed in every category with this board.

Another level
I thought I was doing pretty good performing the yoga tree pose on a BOSU ball base (squishy side down). This thing on the other hand is INSANE!! My core muscles were so fatigued after my first 'session' I felt like I had been run over, and talk about being sore the next day! Simple in design and very well made (I got the grip version) my only problem is that the air pump never registered a reading but I understand there is video on the manufacturer's web site that explains how to fix that. The price does seem a wee bit high which is the only ding I could think of. Definitely recommend if you're wanting to work on your balance and core.

Purchase Directly From Skill Board
Awesome board! My wife and I really enjoy it. We even bought a yoga roller to use with it. The ball it came with was slightly falling apart, but it seems the surface layer didn't get a complete coating. I contacted support and they responded within 24hrs and offered to send us a new one. My only suggestion is to buy directly from their site as I noticed our board was sent in a bulk shipment of them and wonder if perhaps that is why we ended up with a faulty ball. Otherwise, love it and would suggest it.

Perfect balance cross training for any athlete
I’m an active (and very average) skier, runner, and horseback rider but was looking for something to help with strength and confidence in balance needed for these sports.This board is perfect for that. Super high quality product, and also just a pretty board. Love that I’m able to easily change the difficulty just by changing the pressure of the ball (starting off easy!!). Steps up a challenge from doing endless wall sits and is way more fun. My roommate and I love rocking around on the Skillboard in our family room.Great product for those who can’t get to a gym either or for the athlete in your life looking for a new challenge, highly recommend!!!

AMAZING Balance trainer!!!
The Skill Board is absolutely fantastic! The board was package great arrived quickly. Board is beautifully made and definitely high-quality. Includes a pump with pressure gauge and large ball. So fun and challenging for all ages. I love how the difficulty can be adjusted by adding more pressure to the ball with included pump. Beautiful wood on the board and nice quality grip tape. Our family is going to have tons of fun with this, improve our balance, and help us do the things we love to do even better. Highly recommended!
