Surf better with CoolBoard balance board
More Control. Better Turns. Faster Progression.
Shred at home and be ready for your next session.
Whether you’re catching your first frothy waves or pushing your performance in bigger surf, CoolBoard helps build the balance, strengths, coordination and board control that every surfer relies on.
We surf for that heavenly moment of riding the wave, but those precious few seconds are not enough to build the strengths, skills and balance needed to progress.
That’s where CoolBoard comes in.
With CoolBoard, you can train surf-specific movement at home whenever you want. Improve your pop-up, refine turn technique, build surf fitness and keep your body primed for the next session.
Beginners start on the Disc. Everyone else can start on the Ball – the Disc is still useful for single leg training and for your gran or grandkids!
Spend 10 minutes a day on CoolBoard and turn flat spells into fun progression time.

why CoolBoard is #1 for surfers
Wobble boards – 3d static movement – often cramped – unpleasant twitchy movement – cupboard fodder!
Roller balance boards – only 1 directional dynamic movement – bored in 15 minutes – not at all like surfing!
Other ball balance boards – too twitchy or don’t move properly, riders fall, get frustrated and give up, hopefully before injury!
CoolBoard balance board – used on Disc it’s a grown up wobble board with progressive movement – used on the Ball it inspires and quickly becomes addictive!
That’s the CoolBoard difference – designed and engineered with unique Ball technology and perfectly honed Boards. The original, and by far the best, since 2006.

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 – due to our unique Ball.
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. And the copycat boards on a ball just haven’t got the vital ball working right.
Pop-up perfection
Veering left or right? Losing strength too quickly? Every wave starts with a pop-up.
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, you’ll catch more waves.
Surfers Turn Practice
Nail explosive top and bottom turns
Knowing how and when to shift your weight is key to powerful turns.
In this video Sasha, aka @zero_ego_board_reviews, shows us how to use CoolBoard on Disc to practice this weight transfer between sessions, so your muscle memory is primed for your next wave.
Practice makes perfect, and every wave counts, so make each wave count more with some surf training at home.

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. Try just one CoolBoard Plank, Push-up or Pelvic Rise – and you’ll know.
Surf Injury
Research has shown that tiredness, a weak core, week joint stabilising structures are major contributions to injuries – having a bulging bicep doesn’t mean you can control it. True strength and control starts at your core, and ends at all your joint stabilisers. 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…
