Board control & balance
A surfboard moves in all directions, both rocking and sliding over the water. Rail to rail (toe to heel) control is as vital as fore to aft (foot to foot) for board control.
CoolBoard is the only surf balance board that gives you full balance control in all directions, both rock and slide – foot to foot and toe to heel.
Most waves only last a few seconds, so surf specific balance training can be a big help. Improve between sessions, save on costly surf lessons, be ready to progress and enjoy.
Beware of lesser ‘surf balance boards’. Balance boards on a roller only go one way. Wobble boards on a fixed pivot only rock, no slide.

Pop-up perfection
The key to a good pop-up is the ability to pop-up quickly and evenly without unsettling your surfboard.
Most of us have one arm stronger than the other so we naturally push harder with that arm. This instantly tips your surfboard to one side making it start to turn and a successful pop-up unlikely.
Beginners often have a week pop-up, making the pop too slow, so the wave has broken before you’re up…
By doing push-ups on a CoolBoard you’ll train your body to push, or pop-up, evenly and quickly. You can’t favour one arm, your arms and core will strengthen, your surfing will improve.
Surf Fitness at Home
CoolBoard exercises are highly effective because of that same 3D movement – targeting many more muscles than traditional exercises and always working your core.
You’ll increase your strength and endurance so you can surf for longer before you get too exhausted… making it easier to focus on good technique before you tire.
Train with CoolBoard so next time the conditions are right – don’t play catch-up – be ready!
Surf Workout for CoolBoard
13 Surf specific CoolBoard exercises – including tips for progression.
Fitness Benefits In detail
Your core connects all your major body parts and is where all your movement begins. Your joint stabilising structures give you the strength to control and move a limb (arm or leg) with accuracy. So having strong joint stabilising structures and core will allow you to move your body with more strength, power and accuracy – or to put in another way – SHRED HARDER FOR LONGER!
Instability training works these often under-developed areas of fitness, and because CoolBoard surf trainer offers more instability than other trainers (Bosu, wobble boards, other balance boards, swiss and gym balls, foam pads, etc) its way more effective – you must react to every little movement, constantly working all those little important muscles.
Just balancing on CoolBoard balance board fires up most muscles from your toes to your chest, including the all important joint stabilisers and core… our other exercises will allow you to further target these as well as working your upper body.
Surf Injury
Research has shown that a weak core and/or joint stabilising structures are major contributions to injuries – having a bulging bicep doesn’t mean you can control it! Prepare with CoolBoard and you’ll be less likely to suffer an injury.
Re-injury is common when these same aspects of strength haven’t been focused on, so if you’re recovering from injury, or think you have but occasionally feel a twinge… spend time on a CoolBoard to give your body the best chance…
