The GIBOARD is a 1-meter-long, patented balance board featuring a spring effect and an integrated slackline, built very low to the ground. Made from FSC-certified wood, it is manufactured in the EU and designed in Germany. This plug-and-play complete set includes stabilizing sticks, a tension rod, and adhesive cork plates to prevent slipping and scratching of floors.
The GIBOARD is an innovative balance training device that, thanks to the flexible wood construction, creates a soft spring effect on the slackline—a feature not technically achievable through slackline tension over such short distances. Its unique, patented design offers both effectiveness and safety by positioning the user just a few centimeters off the ground, allowing easy dismounting if balance is lost. This feature enhances the user’s spatial awareness in all directions.
Once set up, the GIBOARD remains tensioned and is always ready for quick use.
“Balance for the Mind, Body, and Soul!” The Zen GIBOARD is inspired by Japanese Zen gardens with gravel, also known as "Kare-san-sui." This term literally means "dry landscape." The Kare-san-sui is a special type of Zen garden where gravel or sand is used to represent bodies of water. The gravel is often raked into wave-like patterns to imitate the flow of water. These gardens serve as a space for meditation, promoting calmness and clarity. We have integrated this pattern into our design to allow your body and mind to fully dedicate themselves to balance!
Technically, the different GIBOARD set models do not vary. The bands are original GIBBON slacklines and, with a load capacity of 2 to 4 tons, show no noticeable differences over this short distance.
Quality Made & Designed in Europe … The GIBOARD is exclusively manufactured in Europe using high-quality beech wood from sustainable sources within the EU. Thanks to its clever, minimalist design, the board is free of metal parts and sharp edges.
Ideal for Children! The GIBOARD is particularly beneficial for children's development. Playful balancing not only strengthens the feet and ankles but also improves coordination and posture (scoliosis, misalignments from excessive sitting!). This can help enhance balance and motor skills. To further foster creativity, the GIBOARD comes with the GIBBON app for kids, offering the following free programs:
- 10-week program: 2-3 new tricks to learn each week.
- Holly's Adventure: Interactive adventures for the little ones (10-minute break for the parents).
