Questions, answered
Which products are best for us?
For classrooms, start with the SlackBoard Plus: durable boards for calm-down corners, PE and therapy rooms. Start on two lines so every kid feels successful, then switch to one line as they improve. Add a SlackRack for PE and a SlackBoard Rack to store boards upright.
What’s the difference between SlackBoard, Plus and Pro?
The SlackBoard is our original full-size, single-line balance board. The SlackBoard Plus switches between one and two lines, so beginners can start on two lines for more support. The SlackBoard Pro is built for gyms, sports performance facilities, and physical therapy clinics. Like the SlackBoard Plus, it switches between one and two lines, and it has larger neoprene pads on the bottom for added durability and grip.
Do you offer volume pricing?
Yes. Volume pricing is available on commercial orders. Tell us who you work with and how much room you have in the inquiry form, and we’ll recommend a setup and send volume pricing.
How do we clean the boards?
Remove the line from your SlackBoard and wash it by hand in cold water with a small amount of mild or natural soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air-dry completely before reinstalling it. Do not machine wash or machine dry the line.
Is the SlackBoard safe?
Yes. The low-profile design keeps you close to the ground, so if you lose your balance, you can simply step off. The line creates a gentle bouncing effect that’s easy on your joints.
