Starter:

We created the Starter for growing kids, fitness on the go and limited budgets. Kids drooled to ride the Original boards but their feet were too small. The Starter series was born as a way to offer an economical balance board designed with adjustable rails and smaller ball options. Everybody can get Started on multi-directional balance training with these boards.

Understanding Ride Stance:

Some riders choose a larger board to develop strength while other choose a smaller board to develop quickness.

When Comparing Two Different Boards

• The larger board will require greater leg strength and will ride slower.
• The smaller board will require less leg strength and will ride faster requiring more coordination.

What Are Your Training Goals?

I want to develop leg strength and coordination:

• Suggested a board that fits your ride stance.

I want to use the board predominantly for upper body moves:

• Suggested a larger ball for range of motion.

I am not interested in riding a ball and will only use half balls:

• Suggested a larger board.

I am still growing in height:

• Suggested a Starter board with adjustable rail.

I am interested in doing tricks and advanced riding:

• Strongly recommend an Original board.

I work with a variety of clients and skill levels:

• Suggested a Freestyle board with ball and half ball

Si Boards balls ride fast and responsive. You can place a padded carpet under the ball to slow the speed if you are a beginner. We suggest starting with a smaller ball and progressing to a larger one.

The Larger Ball:

Si Boards come in a variety of sizes and weights which makes for a unique ride for all of them. Original boards are heavier compared to the Starter boards. In general heavier boards ride slower.

The Larger And Heavier Board:

• Is smooth and flows into transitions
• Requires greater leg strength to quickly carve a turn
• Is more balanced feeling

The Smaller And Lighter Board:

• Fast and whippy
• Allows you to quickly move and turn
• Requires less strength to control

Board Tilt:

This is the angle of the board when one side touches the ground and the other side rests on the ball. We suggest beginning riders start with smaller balls to reduce extreme board tilt.

Greater Board Tilt: (a larger ball)

• Requires more ankle, knee and hip range of motion
• Allows the rider to carve turns in more extreme angles
• Increases the starting angle and strength needed to get started

Less Board Tilt: (a smaller ball)

• Requires more fine tuning of the ankles, knees and hips to keep the board level
• Allows the board to stop and ground easier

Forward And Backward Motion:

This motion requires greater coordination of your hips and feet and can feel awkward at first. Greater forward and backward motion increases the difficulty.

• Original boards have more forward and backward motion due to a wider rail size.
• Starter boards are suggested for riders with small feet to control the motion.

Rail Height:

Rail height help contains the ball under the board. If you plan on practicing tricks or advanced moves we suggest an Original board with the steel rail. We do not suggest practicing tricks on a Starter board due to the shortened rail height and hardness of balls.
