Take Charge And Lead The Way:
The Commando board is large and strong just like you. Take charge of every situation and hone in on your skill set. Designed for the tall user who can unleash an athletic and powerful commanding force. Utilizing the full potential of this board and mastering heavy duty exercises will rank you at elite status.
Elite Status Training:
This large size board is not for the weak or timid. Requiring a wide stance for smaller riders fires up gnarly muscle activation and control. Very tall riders finally have a board that fits their natural stance and allows functional training. Upper body moves are comfortable and give you an infinite range of positions. With a large rail space there is plenty of room for 2 balls or half balls for full body moves.
Get Started Here:
The Commando Basic Package is perfect for getting started with balance training. You can create 4 different unique board types by combining Balls and Half Balls. When you are ready to progress your skills you can always add more Balls, Half Balls and Resistance Bands to your balance board.
8.5" Large Ball:
Our favorite combo for carving turns, tricks, upper body moves and full on board control. Keeping you up high means you get a ton of board motion before you have to call it quits. Heavy and strong to control, once this board and ball combo gain momentum your body will fully activate to stay on top.
6.5" Medium Ball:
gets you started and keeps you close to the ground. Quick and responsive with a ton of forward and backward motion. Controlling this board with fast ball is a fun challenge and will require great body control. Carving a turn is easy if you are comfortable with the wide squat stance.
5" Small Ball:
Combine with the 8.5" Half Ball to create the single pivot system. A perfect start to progressing from a wobble board to a board that rolls. You will be able to start coordinating your hip control.
8.5" Half Balls:
Create a rocker or wobble board. A great start to learning balance or performing complex upper and lower body moves. Create your own unique combo that suits your needs. Add balls and half balls for variety.
Resistance Band System:
This Original board features a steel rail system that anchors the Resistance Bands System. Perfect for adding greater body awareness and posture control as the bands pull you down toward the board. Use the handles and foot straps to take any exercise move and expand the challenge.
BOSU Strap System:
Place your board on the BOSU and secure it with our strap system. The unique movement is gentle and feels like floating on water. Great for movement sequences from quadruped to full standing, landing jump progressions or partner drills.
Elysia's Notes:
My absolute favorite balance board for total leg domination with the 8.5" Large Ball. I am on fire after a few minutes and then I hold that deep and wide squat to wake up my entire body. I love the huge range of motion and ride area of this board. The push-up sequence gives me so much shoulder motion and really activates my spinal control. My favorite board size for full body training with Resistance Bands and positions with my hands and feet on the board.

1. Rocker Board: 2 Half Balls
Place Half Balls flat side up for faster tilt. Using two creates a Rocker Board that tilts in 2 directions - Left and Right for example. The farther the Half Balls are from one another, the more stable the surface. You can place them very close together for more challenge. This is great for holding a position and rocking the board left and right to activate your muscle coordination.
2. Wobble Board: 1 Half Ball
Place 1 Half Ball under your board and it will tilt in all directions and allow you to twist the board. Place in the center for an equal weight distribution. Place to the side and you will activate the side directly over the Half Ball. This is great for developing strength on one side if it is weaker or unable to function the same after an injury.
3. Single Pivot Board: 1 Half Ball and 1 Ball
Place 1 Half Ball under the left side of the board and 1 Ball under the right side of the board. The left side will tilt front to back and the right side will pivot or slide forward and backward. A great progression to learning how to activate hip rotation on a moving board on one side of your body.
Best set up: 3" Ball and 6.5" Half Ball or 5" Ball and 8.5" Half Ball
4. Double Pivot Board: 2 Balls
Use 2 of the same sized ball under your board to activate each side in rotation. Placing the Balls close is more difficult. You will get multi-direction motion without the extreme tilting from left to right feet. A perfect combo for advanced skills like surf pop-up, quadruped, deep squats and adding difficult upper body battlerope exercises while maintaining balance.
5. Multi-Direction Board: 1 Ball
The heart of the Si Board is riding on 1 Ball for a multi-direction platform. The freedom to move left/right, front/back, twist, diagonal, clockwise/counterclock and 360 spins all at the same time. This is the most advanced balance board skill to learn fine motor skill and full body awareness.
6. Rock and Roll: Small Ball inside of Half Ball x 2
Placing a small Ball inside the Half Ball creates two moving surfaces. The small Ball rolls around inside of the Half Ball. The Half Ball is placed flat side up and creates a rocking or wobble motion. Four moving surfaces that keep you level and don't allow the board to roll to extremes. You feel all surfaces continuously knock into each other abruptly. Perfect for deep stance endurance simulating rough water and windy conditions.
Use these combos:
7. Thrasher: Small Ball inside of Half Ball x 1
Placing a small Ball inside the Half Ball creates two moving surfaces. The small Ball rolls around inside of the Half Ball. The Half Ball is placed flat side up and creates a rocking or wobble motion. Two moving surfaces that give you extreme tilts in all direction with slight board rolling. Perfect for holding your push-up position against an opponent and a narrow squat with very quick foot reactions.
Use these combos:
8. Ball Big Drop: Medium Ball fixed tight inside a large Half Ball
Wedge a Ball inside the Half Ball so that the two parts do not move. You have two different sized balance points and this gets you up high off the ground. You will teeter/hover around and just as the Half Ball gets to the edge you will feel a fast drop to the ground. Reaction to this feels like a sudden drop and being able to control landing on you sport board.
Use these combos:
Add Resistance for Greater Body Awareness:
Mastering your Si Board on the Balls and Half Balls is a big challenge. Now it's time to add resistance and fight the downward forces towards the board. Anchor the straps anywhere along the steel rail, attach the resistance band and then add the handles or foot straps. You can have resistance from any angle and keep your body guessing what's next. This stimulates more posture awareness and strength to keep your position.
Combo With Your Sports Equipment:
Make it more sport specific by strapping your sports equipment to the end our resistance band. Imagine a tennis racquet, baseball bat, steel mace or kettlebell in your hands being pulled downward toward the board. Then keep your position with the added balance challenge of any of the 8 board set-ups mentioned above. Sounds like one awesome exercise!
Gentle Movement Flow and Landing Your Jumps:
Sometimes you need a more forgiving balance board compared to our very responsive Balls and Half Balls. Strap your Si Board to a BOSU to get the sensation of floating on air. Movement flow is easier and more fluid. Perfect for partner drills, going from horizontal to vertical exercises, beginners learning balance and advanced athletes adding jumps and other equipment.
Use A Burst Resistance Stability Ball:
You can also add a burst resistance Stability Ball under the board and strap it in. We use a 55 cm that is deflated 1/4. This is a very advanced set-up when standing or jumping on the board. This is a great skill progression for learning push-ups, dips or bridges.
Please note:
Use a BOSU and burst resistant Stability Ball in good condition. Check for defects or damage before using and follow all safety guidelines. We are not responsible for damage to your exercise equipment or injury. Exercise within your skill level, with a spotter and safety equipment.
