Revbalance Swell 2.0 - Surf & Paddle Balance Board Trainer

I've only had it a few days and I've been using it constantly. It's definitely challenging and awesome on your legs. As an avid kite/snow/longboarder, I needed something like this to give me something to do at home.I spend every second on it if I'm watching a show or playing a video game. My balance has already improved a bit and I can feel it working my leg muscles! I've started attempting some spins and squats as well. Definitely adds to the workout.Water sport enthusiasts, this is great for you because the stops on the bottom can be swapped to the long edges, which allows you to work on wave-type balance scenarios.With the stoppers off completely it's even MORE challenging, and you can twist and turn to your heart's content.Only "complaint" (which is negligible) is that the blue part of the board is a different material that gets a bit slippery if you're on it barefoot. But it's only after you've been on it long enough for your feet to sweat, and even then - just wear socks!It's very comfortable to stand on, very sturdy wood with soft and durable foam on top, and the roller hasn't damaged my hardwood floor even with all of my falling!Anyway, I highly recommend this to beginners or advanced balance boarders, as it can be changed to work for you. Also great for snowboarders who struggle with rail balance, and surfers (and basically any board sport). And it's pretty!

I did a lot of research on different balance boards with rollers, and eventually settled on the Swell 2.0. I’ve had it for a couple of years now, and haven’t had any issues. The quality is solid, and the board surface is just grippy enough for barefoot training, but not TOO grippy to make doing turns difficult. It hasn’t peeled off or anything. The magnetic stoppers can be knocked off if you roll too hard and fast in one direction, FYI; 99% of the time, they stay well put. Once you feel more comfortable on your board, you’ll likely take off those “training wheels” anyway. But it is a nice feature, to be able to move them into different positions. I haven’t seen this particular feature from any other balance board brand on the market.The length of the board and the roller are a great size. Some boards are really short, or a wide oval, while some are really narrow and more geared towards skateboard training. Some have much smaller diameter rollers, or really short rollers. But this is a great “general training” board, and I think the size makes it more versatile, and easier for beginners. You’re able to spread your stance wider on the Swell, better mimicking the stance you have when surfing.I do use this board to make weight training and cardio more challenging. (Revolution does also make the FIT board specifically for this, but the Swell 2.0 has the same weight limit rating of up to 450lbs.) You can do overhead presses, racked kettlebell squats (which would be less doable on a shorter or narrower board), windmills and the like on this thing. I’ve personally tested the Swell up to 200 lbs and it was fine.I also have their air cushion, which I sometimes use with the board, or on its own. It’s worth it, as an add-on.I especially recommend this for any kind of sport that requires a lot of balance. It has helped me progress in my roller skating and paddleboarding, for sure.

I bought this to help with balance. It works. Also threw it into my workout routine and to squats, curls, anything I can on it.Still having a problem with the hard level but will get there.Well made, decent price, worth the cost. No complaints.

This swell board is fun, I have a couple of these balance boards, such as the Indo Board, though I think I like the Swell Board the best. It’s a little longer and even has an app which you could follow some of the exercise and balance routines, which I like..

I think this is the first review I have ever written on Amazon. That is how much I love this new toy of mine.I purchased this board to help train for a 21 mile SUP race in order to get more time on the board. I considered the Goofboard and Indo board as part of my research and ultimately decided on this one. A couple of reasons for this:1. Is bi-directional. This was the biggest deciding factors. You can use it both 'ways' with the bumper placement on either side. Really helpful for getting started. The ability to turn it closely mimics foot placement on a paddle board.2. Decking material very similar to paddle board top- can easily jump on and off with bare feet. Will help with my foot 'grip strength' if that makes sense.3. Company solvency. Revolution seems to be developing and releasing new products while the Goofboard is discontinuing models. I wanted to purchase a product from a company that is doing new R&D for their products so that they would be there for support.4. Customer service. I chatted with someone on their team while doing my research. The online chat feature (on their website) was helpful in making sure I bought the right product for my practice.I have had this board for about a week now and have consistently used it for 30-45 mins on my 'rest' workout days. It is super fun and I set it up in the living room with a blanket underneath for more traction since I have tile floors. My boyfriend loves it too and we have to take turns while we are hanging out watching tv and cooking dinner. It took about one session to feel fairly solid. I still use the counter as a crutch in case I go too far. Could easily use a broom handle or the back of a chair for getting started. Just make sure that you have a carpet or something with a deeper pile which will help you starting off. I used a sheepskin throw over a yoga mat and intend to remove the sheepskin for a faster 'ride' once I feel pretty solid with my technique.Net-net, if you are looking for a fun way to build stability and strength, I think this product is fantastic. Easy to get started. I would recommend this for any athlete trying to cross train. My boyfriend is a cyclist and I run/paddle and am an aspiring yogi. I can't wait to see how this impacts all my workouts.I am even thinking of getting one for my 65+ yo mom for Mother's Day!Enjoy!
