The inside scoop...

"Thanks again for creating Si-boards. The kids are enjoying them. Kid's with DS (Down Syndrome) really benefit from core strengthening. Because having DS usually means low muscle tone, core strength will help her gain much more confidence in her physical ability to master her world. This will help her tremendously in school in many, many ways - ways those of us who are able-bodied take for granted. If you haven't already, I'd encourage you to explore how Si-boards might be utilized in PT, OT, and RT interventions." PGE

"I have been using mine in my ktichen, and my kitchen is small!  My overall balance has improved dramatically and rather quickly while my stabilizer muscle strength continues to increase as well.  Its fun, challenging and rewarding.  Hands down, best balance board on the market." -TL

"Hello Elysia,
 
I thank you for your reply and effort to get my si board over here. I really like the board and am getting used to riding it.
 
So far it has been a great experience and it is a challenge to balance for me, especially because I have a problem with my sciatic nerve because of a prolaps in my L5/S1 disc area. I already worked with the Indo board, but this SI board works on every area of your core muscles, so in theory it is a great innovation! Cheers!" -BdV

"I ride the Si-board every day.  As a Dad, professional Snowboard Instructor, Financial Representative, Wake boarder, Skateboarder,  sometimes it is hard to find time to keep my training at peak levels for my favorite board sports.  The Si-board allows me to regularly activate all the muscle groups that I use regularly on the mountain or at the lake or just pumping the bowls at the local skate park.  With the Si-boards full range of motion it forces me to keep a balanced athletic stance.  My family and friends laugh at how big my travel bags are because I take the board with me every time I travel.

I was in a expert level training class with a group of Professionals that are on Snowboards 5 or 6 days per week.   I am only on the mountain 1 or 2 days per week.  The coach of the clinic told me I was blowing the other instructors away. I completely credit the Si-board for keeping my balance and stabilizer muscles stretched and ready to activate.  The coach told others how well I was doing.  He thought they were just tired.  I know that it is the Si-board.  I love the SI-board it is so much fun and a great way to stay sharp for any board sport."

"Possibly the best balance board on the planet today." Lorenzo Diaz from Board Riders Review

"Hey Elysia, I really like the ball now.  I wouldn't even think about riding on my old balls even just after a few minutes on the Si ball.  I was riding on mini basketballs from K-Mart, and they worked just ok to learn on, but I could really feel the resistance.  I tried home grade pitching machine softballs, and they were about as mushy.  I think I might have had a little better luck with commercial grade pitching machine softballs, but now I'm just spoiled with your ball.

I really didn't do any balance boarding until I saw Si-Boards.  I surf and I wanted to increase my balance strength but I thought the Indo style was just too one dimensional.  I had been imagining some kind of board that rode on a ball for a while.  Seeing your videos on Youtube just gave me clarity on how simple the design had to be, so I made a homemade board from stuff lying around at work.  I have been slowly increasing the size of the rail as I improve.  I rode two mini-basketballs for about a week or so, and it took me about another week to master one basketball.  When I found how much work it was to ride rail to rail on the basketball or softball, I decided I needed a solid-ball

"I've mastered the indo board, but not focused enough energy on the si-board. I have a little, and you'll be pleased to know it has transformed my wakesurfing from the point where I couldn't do it, to the point where I can do it easily." C. Evans
