Surf Balance Board with Cork Roller – Slim 70 cm, Plain

A board on a roller is a different challenge from a curved rocker board. Nothing holds it in place: the roller moves freely underneath, and staying up means constant small corrections from the ankles, knees and trunk. Children who have outgrown a rocker board find this genuinely difficult again — which is the point.

The movement is the same one you make on a surfboard: weight shifting edge to edge, the body reading an unstable surface and answering it. That is why boards like this are known as surf balance boards, and why they hold a child's attention long after a static toy has stopped.

The slim 70 cm board is the narrower of the two, with a smaller roller. Less width means less margin for error, so it is the harder board to stand on — but it is also lighter to carry, easier to store and takes up less space in a flat. A good choice where the board will be picked up and put away daily.

The cork roller works on its own as a foam roller for stretching tight calves and backs, and the board doubles as a lap desk on a sofa or bed.

• Board: 70 × 33 cm, thickness 3.2 cm, weight 1.6 kg
• Roller: 35 × 10 cm, weight 1 kg
• Load capacity 100 kg
• Grippy surface — works with bare feet, socks or shoes
• Birch plywood and natural cork, made in Latvia by leg&go

Finish: plain surface, no visible brand mark. The quietest of the three finishes and the easiest to place in a living room.

Safety note: a roller board is not a toddler product. Use it on a rug or mat, away from furniture edges, and stay within arm's reach of a child who is still learning it.
