Dust is the enemy of grip! To maintain deck traction, clean with damp cloth. Use glass cleaner to remove stubborn spots. We recommend not riding with sandy or wet feet.

This is a common first question... Hold onto a strong steady surface when getting started. Practice the rolling motion and the feeling of moving from rail to rail. Get comfy with this, then start playing around. Watch our how to videos for more direction.. Start slow, you'll get there. 

Well - this is quite dependent on your balance, experience with a rail to rail motion and desire to practice. Typically, it takes about 15-30 minutes of use to maintain decent balance, about two weeks to shake off the jitters, and maybe a month of regular use to feel fairly comfortable. You see the best results when practicing regularly - hop on once a day, and have fun with it.

No - not at all actually. Our boards ride in a rail-to-rail motion - parallel to the roller, whereas most balance boards ride perpendicular to the roller - which is truer to the surfing experience then anything else out there. 

Oh yes, the infinite floating coupon codes. Unfortunately, those aren't valid. 

We offer a 100% recycled cotton rug as a riding mat. A stretching mat or carpet works as well, but the one we offer is our favorite in its dampening. 

There is no better way. Practice balancing on the Goofboard one foot at a time, on either foot. Keep your knees bent and make each step a smooth transfer of weight. Even if you do not aspire to walk to the nose, as a longboarder, you still need to move your feet. The Goofboard balance boards will help. 

We created the Goofboard balance board - with the surfer in mind - to evolve your style, fluidity and grace in and out of the water. So yes, it will absolutely help your surfing. With practice, you will feel increased strength, balance and board control.

Oh no - the Goofboard balance board not only helps evolve your surfing, but is also a great trainer for all activities which include balance.

For the SUP paddle stance, you will need to ride rail-to-rail with your feet fairly close together. Our boards are designed with bamboo stops on the rails of the board, so when you get to that edge, you will be gently stopped. Other balance boards typically either have stops that are too wide or there are no stops going rail to rail - which is much more difficult and you will fall easier. The Goofboard board also allows you to switch into a surfing stance and move those feet! 

Yes! We have plenty of snowboard customers who have made us aware of how much it helps their boarding. The heel-to-toe motion from the Goofboard board is a good way for snow boarders to keep in shape while practicing that riding motion.
