3 rope lengths available, improved resistance bands and tips on maintaining your equipment for maximum durability!

Hey Si Boarders! 

It's time to maintain your Si Boards Balance Boards, Rope Balls, Starter Rails and Balls. We want you start your training session with safe equipment.

Below are guidelines on how to properly maintain and care for your equipment. 

Please contact me if you see anything out of the ordinary. I strive to make an everlasting product line and your input is appreciated. 

 

Sincerely,

Follow these guidelines to maintain your Si Board in proper condition and start with a safe ride every time.
  • Check your board, rail, rail blocks and ball for damage
  • Items with cracks, splits, broken rail blocks, loose/missing hardware or rails should not be ridden

Original Boards:

  • Check all six/eight rail blocks for movement between the rail and board by wiggling each block. The blocks should not move and the rail should be secured to the rail blocks and board
  • All bolts should be countersunk in the board top and secured inside the rail hole

Starter Boards:

  • Check the urethane rail for secure attachment to the board. The rail should be fully intact and should not be broken into pieces. 
  • All screws should be countersunk in the board top and all nuts should be secured inside the rail. If a screw is loose, tighten it with a Phillips head screwdriver

Power Rope Ball Maintenance

Si Boards Power Rope Ball

If you've been slamming your Power Rope Ball to the max - it's time to check all the critical parts. 

  • Check the rope caps for splits, tears and any other signs of damage 
  • Take the top rope cap out of the ball and inspect all surfaces
  • Check the bottom rope cap for a secure fit into the bottom of the ball
  • Check the rope for: 
    • signs of abrasion 
    • glazing/melting of fibers 
    • increase/decrease in diameter
    • discoloration 
    • loss of flexibility 
    • core fiber exposure 
    • kinking/twisting 

* These conditions will weaken the rope and can cause serious injury *

  • Check all knots for a tight and secure fit
  • With continued use we suggest replacing the rope and caps on a yearly basis.

Custom Rope Size

Si Boards - Various Rope Lengths

With continued use of your Power Rope Ball we suggest replacing the rope and caps on a yearly basis. 

We now have three sizes of rope length to meet your needs and height requirements.  Each length is signified by a different color cap- making it easy to distinguish between athletes and different uses.

A general rule is to have the rope end at the inside of your elbow crease. This allows you to have ground clearance if doing big shoulder swings. You will have enough rope length for extra grip knots and hand wraps. Measure from the ground to the inside of your elbow. 

Advanced users may want a longer rope for complex sequence training. Click each picture to find out more and see picture reference.

Resistance Band Maintenance

Si Boards Resistance Band

Annual maintenance for critical parts. We recommend replacing your bands every year.

Latex bands degrade with exposure to cold, heat, UV, hand oils, lotions, pool chlorine and continued use. 

Here are some ways to check for your bands and straps:
  • Check for cracks, tears, cuts, splits at resting and stretched length
  • Check the plastic clips at the end of the band for breaks
  • Do not stretch the bands past 300% (3 times) their resting length
Straps and Handles:
  • Check for well secured stitching and integrity
  • Always check the Resistance Band clip for a secure fit to the O-ring

Resistance Band Sturdy Clips 

Sturdy Clips: Check the plastic clips for breaks and security around the band

Resistance Band O-Ring Strap Safety

O-Ring / Strap Safety: Check integrity of the O-rings at the weld and secured strap stitching

Solid bands

Solid Bands: Stretch your bands and check for any cracks, splits or tears. Check for secure attachment.
