F2 Balance Board WIP

This balance board is sold individually . It is used directly on the ground, without a roller or hemisphere.

F2 Balance Board WIP:

The F2 WIP balance board is a curved balance board measuring 93 x 30 cm , designed to improve balance, coordination, and proprioception. Its curved shape naturally creates instability as the user shifts their weight from one side to the other. It is suitable for training in board sports, fitness, yoga, or for the physical conditioning of circus performers.

Made from 11-layer plywood , this board combines rigidity with slight elasticity. Its generous size offers ample space to vary the spacing and position of the feet. Its curve reaches a maximum height of approximately 20 cm .

Unlike a balance board mounted on rollers or a hemisphere, the F2 WIP rests directly on its curved ends. This provides a simple, easy-to-understand rocking motion and allows users to gradually develop control of their center of gravity.

NetJuggler's review of the F2 WIP Balance Board:

This balance board strikes us as particularly appealing due to its ease of use and versatility . No accessories are required: simply place the board on the ground and balance exercises can begin immediately. Its movement differs from that of a roller balance board: movement is guided by the board's curvature, allowing you to focus on weight transfer, body positioning, and stability. Weighing 3.7 kg and constructed from 11 layers of wood, it feels robust. Its generous 93 cm length also allows for easy variation of positions. It is a valuable tool for athletic training, as well as for circus performers looking to enhance their balance and physical conditioning.

For what type of practice?

• Balance and proprioception: working on weight transfers, stability and body control.
• Preparation for sliding sports: interesting as a complement to the practice of surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding and other disciplines requiring balance and control of the feet.
• Fitness and physical preparation: allows for the introduction of instability into various exercises and for greater engagement of the stabilizing muscles.
• Yoga and strengthening: can be integrated into certain core exercises, squats, postures and mobility movements.
• Circus: interesting to complement the work of artists practicing balance disciplines and to develop coordination, proprioception and quality of support.
• Circus schools and communities: its intuitive use allows it to be integrated into motor skills, balance or physical preparation workshops, under the supervision of an instructor.

Some exercise ideas with the F2 WIP:
