NetJuggler's review of the Rola Bola F2 in cork:

This model stands out from traditional Rola Bolas due to its strong focus on board sports and physical training . The cork roller provides smooth movement under the board, while the cork top surface offers a comfortable feel underfoot. Available in two sizes, you can choose the model that best suits your needs: the 73 cm version is compact and responsive , while the 80 cm version offers a more generous surface area . It's a valuable tool for exploring balance training as well as for regularly complementing your surfing, snowboarding, or skateboarding workouts.

Why use a balance board?

Regular use of a Rola Bola constantly engages the muscles responsible for stabilizing the body. The user must make small adjustments to keep the board horizontal and maintain their center of gravity above the roller.

• Dynamic equilibrium work.
• Development of coordination and control of movements.
• Activation of the stabilizing muscles of the legs and trunk.
• Proprioceptive training.
• Improved management of weight transfers.
• An interesting training supplement for sliding sports .

What size Rola Bola F2 should I choose?

• 73 × 28 cm: compact size offering good handling. It also takes up less space for storage and transport.
• 80 × 30 cm: larger board allowing feet to be spread further apart and positions to be varied more easily.

Both models use the same 33 x 10 cm cork roller . The choice therefore depends mainly on the desired surface area underfoot and the desired feel.

For what type of practice?

• Surfing: working on weight transfers and balance control out of the water.
• Snowboarding: training in stability and coordination outside of periods of practice on snow.
• Skateboarding and sliding sports: complementary work on body positioning and reactions.
• Fitness: possibility of integrating the board into various exercises requiring stability.
• Proprioception: the work of the constant adjustments necessary to maintain one's balance.
• Circus and balance: a complementary tool to develop the basics needed for different balance disciplines.

This equipment can be used by beginners, intermediate or advanced practitioners. It can also find its place in sports clubs, circus schools, associations and structures offering activities around motor skills and balance.

Some exercises with the Rola Bola F2:

• Basic balance: get on the board and try to keep it as horizontal as possible.
• Lateral swing: gradually shifting your weight from one foot to the other while controlling the movement of the roller.
• Stabilization: aim to gradually reduce the board's movements.
• Leg bending: once balance is mastered, perform small bends while maintaining stability.
• Squats: exercise reserved for users already comfortable with basic balance.
• Varying foot position: gradually change the spacing and orientation of the feet in order to work on different sensations.

Tip: For first-time use, position yourself near a stable support that you can hold onto with your hands. Then progress gradually before adding more complex exercises.
