Balance boards

A board on a separate roller, such as Classic88 or Surf88, is suited to practising balance and board control. A curved rocker rests directly on its curved base and is designed for rocking and open-ended play. Choose the type of movement and the intended user first.

Classic88 and Surf88 include magnetic stoppers that limit the roller’s travel. Start with a suitable stopper position, small movements and a clear practice area. Classic88 has a rectangular shape; Surf88 has a surf-inspired outline. Check the model’s instructions before your first session.

PRO adds a felt underside and a graded edge. The felt helps protect hard floors and reduce noise. Classic has no felt underside or graded edge. Choose based on your floor and preferred features; children should use either model with adult supervision.

Classic88 and Surf88 list a deck, cork roller and magnetic stoppers in their sets. Kids’ curved rockers do not need a separate roller. Mats are separate accessories unless explicitly included in your chosen listing, so check the contents on the product page.

Use a clear, level area and a suitable non-slip training mat to help protect the floor. The felt underside on Rocker PRO also helps reduce noise and protect hard surfaces. Keep the board, roller and floor clean, and follow the instructions for your model.

Classic88, Surf88 and the Whales PRO kids’ rocker each list a maximum user weight of 120 kg (265 lb). Check the specification of the exact model you choose; a weight limit alone does not determine whether a board is suitable for a particular child or activity.
